Is this the RR, or regular army? Anyway looks like the third picture has a ghatak with the holo sight on backwards! Not going to hit much with the sight on wrong!
Regular Infantry along LOC.
GHATAK Rifle is not issued to the Army,( State Police & CAPFs are using it).
Third rifle is a Romanian AK with Israeli FAB DEFENSE modifications. Sight is correctly mounted not backwards.

That picture you posted is of a real eotech (and his dust cover is closed) so it's mounted correctly. If the army has Eotechs then it's correctly mounted, if they're some other brand it's likely it's backwards. It isn't uncommon for that to happen either, you'll see it in US army pictures even.

Good to know about the units though, thank you

Guy designed the rifle as part of his B.E final tear project.
But I feel sorry for him that our stupid babooz in MoD will never look into this. It is a national shame that we are looking for foreign weapons as standard issue despite having many in-house designs, Army and OFB guys should give all support to this gentleman in making this rifle great. If not Army then at least the final awesome product should become the standard of CAPF and other Police forces.

But the government website says that his company specialises in Drones, Aeronautics Aerospace & Defence.

bhai @FalconSlayers , what’s with the constant self-flagellation on a daily basis? Sometimes it is with Kenya comparison now with this, before that it was Switzerland.

Not every news item is an opportunity for pitiful comments on India. I get it that it’s not your fault that you think this way, news media has made all of us believe that it is always India’s fault or Indian democracy’s fault etc etc. India will become what we make it to be, it’s destiny is in all our hands.

But someday you will have to snap out of it, for your own peace of mind. I have told you this before too, spend some time reading on things & topics beyond what news media is presenting infront of you for your consumption.

Let the companies which has merit in their products & intent succeed. Let them make mistakes, let them learn and hopefully becomes a better version of their current self in the future.
