Srinagar: Farooq Ahmad Dar, who was tied to the bonnet of an Army jeep during the 2017 by-elections in Jammu and Kashmir, on Thursday, in a curious turn of events, did election duty in the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency.
An embroidery artisan from Cheill-Brass village in Beerwah segment of Badgam district, Dar had just come out after casting his vote in April 2017 when stone pelting started in the area.
To avoid being attacked by the stonepelters, Major Leetul Gogoi of the Rashtriya Rifles tied Dar to the bonnet of his jeep as he left the spot parading him through several villages.
