Indian Army rewards officer who used civilian as human shield

A military officer who is accused of using a civilian as a 'human shield' has been awarded by the Indian army for his efforts in counter-insurgency operations.

The officer reportedly tied a civilian to an Army vehicle to defend his convoy from civilians pelting stones. The Army says the reward is not linked to this incident, which is still being probed.
