It looks like the QBZ95 Chinese gun.

Could have been taken during Indo-Chinese exercise

His wrist watch is rather distracting.

QBZ-95 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

QBZ-95 (Rifle)

This is the standard version of the rifle used domestically, chambered for the 5.8x42mm DBP87 round.

Due to issues associated with the original design, the PLA undertook a program to improve the Type 95. The lead designer of the Type 95 program Duo Yingxian (朵英贤), who is now retired, stated that the project was being worked on by some of his students. Known goals for the program were to:

1. Improve the rifle's ergonomics/controls.
2. Chamber it for new ammunition with double the effective range.
3. Add a quick-firing grenade launcher.[11]

The program resulted in the improved QBZ-95-1 variant.

He is instructor and that is his rank on wrist ..

Its leather strap with Ashok Emblem or Ashok Satambh on it. It is worn by CHM (Company Havaldar Major). CHM posts are given to senior -most Havaldars in a Unit or Company. And it is always wore on right hand.
