The victim's family alleged that the soldiers thrashed him and then took him to hospital in a critical condition, said police.
An FIR has been registered against six Army jawans in Rajasthan after a critically injured man whom they admitted in a local hospital succumbed to injuries, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, the victim, Salman (24), along with his friend had gone to the firing range in Pokhran on a motorcycle on Monday. Since it is a prohibited area, they turned their bike towards sand dunes in order to escape when they saw a patrolling vehicle of the Army, they said.
"The victim's family allege that Salman went to the firing range in search of cattle. They said while his friend managed to escape, Salman was caught by the jawans who thrashed him badly and later took him to the hospital in a critical condition," Ashok Kumar, SHO, Lathi police station said.
The Army authorities, however, denied the allegations and said the jawans had spotted the victim lying injured and they rushed him to the hospital.
