The Minister is understood to have expressed his displeasure to the Army top brass over the initial report that is said to have attempted a cover up on the clash that has raised questions over discipline in an important unit of an artillery regiment, highly-placed sources told PTI here.
He has now sought full details of the incident in Nyoma, they said.
The army had submitted a brief initial report about the incident to the Ministry on Friday evening, almost a day after the incident took place in the Mahe field firing ranges in Ladakh.
Sources said army had attempted to describe the whole incident as only a minor scuffle between jawans and officers but no details were provided.
The army had yesterday said the clash between the jawans and officers near Leh was an "isolated act of indiscipline" and not a mutiny and that the media had "sensationalised" the incident.
It also denied any arms and ammunition were used during the incident, saying, "The armoury has not been captured by the troops as is being reported wrongly." (MORE)
