PDP President Mehbooba Mufti lashed out at the authorities for creating a “sense of siege” which saw a Sub Divisional Magistrate “being roughed up by army personnel in south Kashmir.”
She demanded action against those involved in the incident.
“There are reports that a Sub Divisonal Magistratealong with his some of his staff members have been roughed up by some securitypersonnel and even their mobile phones have been damaged. Such an unrulybehaviour has become a norm. I condemn this high handedness and seek exemplarypunishment against those found guilty,” she said.
The bureaucrat-turned politician Shah Faesal took to Twitterdemanding action against the “erring” soldiers.
“News of physical assault on SDM Duroo by army is veryshocking. If tru, DC/SSP Anantnag should immediately register an FIR and arrestthe erring personnel,” Faesal said.
He hoped that “AFSPA won’t come in the way of IPC/RPC and the action will be taken”.
