FIR against JKAP
GK NEWS NETWORK
Srinagar, Aug 20: Police has registered a case against the armed company of the Jammu and Kashmir Police that assaulted the Station House Officer Nigeen in Hazratbal on Thursday.
Source said the case was registered after the policemen of the company assaulted the SHO who objected to go for ‘indiscriminate firing’ on the protesters. “The FIR specifically mentions that the armed police assaulted the SHO and unnecessarily ransacked the houses and vehicles in Hazratbal on Saturday,” they said.
“The armed policemen tried to aim a Light Machine Gun at the protesters. The SHO and his men caught hold of the LMG and aimed it in the air following which over 100 rounds were used. The armed personnel abused the SHO for saving the protesters. Had he not caught hold of the gun, the personnel would have killed scores of people,” the FIR reportedly mentions. “It is sheer frustration on part of the armed policemen. They assaulted the SHO and attacked his vehicle too.”
