Indian soldier thrashed over rumours of braid-chopping

In the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, a soldier was beaten up by a mob over rumours that he was involved in a string of braid-chopping incidents.

The soldier was later rescued by the Army.

In the last few weeks several incidents of assailants chopping the hair of unsuspecting women have led to mass hysteria.
