Two persons, including an Assam Rifles trooper, were injured during an exchange of fire in the Kharsang area of Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang district on Friday night.
District officials said the incident occurred when Assam Rifles personnel responded to the sound of gunfire from a youth who was out hunting, mistaking him to be one of the extremists they were lying in wait for following a tip-off.
