MEERUT, Aug. 19 -- : Nearly two days after a 26-year-old army jawan was tied to a pole, kicked, punched and attacked with sticks by a group of toll plaza employees, angry villagers vandalised the same Bhuni toll plaza on the Meerut-Karnal highway on Monday afternoon and confronted the staff there.

A video of the locals vandalising the toll plaza also surfaced on social media. Police personnel reached the spot and controlled the situation.

The attack on the jawan took place after he requested the toll plaza staff for a quick passage so that he could catch a flight in order to rejoin duty in Srinagar. Six people have been arrested in connection with the attack on the jawan, according to the police.
