Indian Army officers attacked by Congo Army
Several Indian Army officers serving the United Nations here were beaten up and some of them grievously injured by Congolese soldiers yesterday, after the battle around the Ghana Embassy,
Major M.V. Gore, was taken out of his house at bayonet point by soldiers who made him lie on his belly on the road by Congolese troops who beat him severely with rifle butt. Major Gore is lying in the Indian Military Hospital, unable to walk.
Major M.S. Kathavaty, living with Major Gore was having his shave when Congolese soldiers dragged him out and hit him on the ear with rifle butt. He was treated at the hospital an discharged last night, but he is still hard of hearing.
Colonel Harmandar Singh, Commander of the Indian Contingent, was stopped at gunpoint and relieved of his car. Some of the Congolese soldiers had called at his house early in the morning and demanded the key of his car saying their Commander wanted the car. When Col. Harmandar Singh said he would like to speak to their Commander, the soldiers rattled their rifles and disappeared.
Half-an-hour later when Col. Singh was on his way to the UN Headquarters, these same soldiers stopped him with sub-machine guns 200 metres from his office, ordered him to get down and demanded the key. He surrendered the key.
