Indian army officer killed over mobile phone

An officer in the Indian army has been shot dead by a soldier under his command.

The army has not released any further details but the BBC claims junior officers reported the shooting followed an argument over a mobile phone.

Local media reports say the soldier was reprimanded for using a phone while on duty, and the device was confiscated.

Officials say the matter is being investigated further.

Earlier this year, an investigation was ordered after a soldier's video complaining about the quality of food in his camp went viral.

The army also came under further scrutiny when a man was tied to the front of an army vehicle and used as a human shield during polling in Indian-administered Kashmir.
