Earlier, the incident became viral in the social media on the failure of the suspects togged up in full military uniforms who were not allowed to enter the camp by the personnel on duty.
The suspects had failed to furnish proof they were army officers after the personnel on duty asked them to do so as their ages did not correspond with the colonel ranks on their uniforms. — Bernama
