A couple of days ago, a purported video of Lance Naik Yagya Pratap Singh was uploaded on social media where he is speaking about army men being allegedly made to do menial tasks at the residence of officers.

Richa demanded her husband be removed from the duties of ‘sahayak’ (buddy). “Army men of Sepoy, Havildar and Lance Naik ranks do ‘sahayaki’ (provide auxiliary services),” she said.

“My husband joined the army for serving the nation and not for doing the household chores at officers’ homes,” Richa said.

She said, “The condition of my husband has been deteriorating but no medical help has been provided to him.”

Richa Singh has said that she fears for her husband's safety. "His cell phone has been taken. I want justice", she said. Rekha Singh is on hunger strike, in solidarity with her husband. She has lost weight after she begun the hunger strike. Local residents are reaching her home too. She is worried that her husband may be targeted by senior officials because of his video.

Meanwhile, the state government has asked local officials to monitor her health. Richa Singh has, however, refused to take food despite District Army Welfare officer Lt Col P Ganga meeting her on Sunday.
