Refuting the media reports that no migrant camp was attacked in south Kashmir, the police said FIR stands registered into the mob attack on a camp in Wisu area of south Kashmir.
During an exclusive chat with Early Times, DIG South Kashmir range, Ghulam Hassan Bhat said the migrant camp at Wisu falling under police station, Divsar was attack on the morning of July 9 and that the mob attacked the property at the camp.
"A big mob attacked the camp. There was damage to property but no injury," he said.
Responding to reports of attack on migrant camp at Haal, the DIG said not the main camp but a CRPF camp nearby was targeted by the unruly mobs.
When told that the newspaper was in possession of pictures of attack on Haal camp, he had a different story to narrate. "At Haal camp there was scare as mob had come but it was the nearby CRPF camp which came under stone pelting. There was no attack on the migrant camp there," the official said.
The DIG reputed that he told any media persons that no migrant camp was attacked in south Kashmir.
As per the victims putting up at the Haal camp when mobs rushed in they were finally rescued by police.
Infact a senior BJP leader who visited the camp subsequently rewarded a police constable Manzoor Ahmed and some other cops Rs 10,000 each for their bravery for rescuing the migrant families from the clutches of the mob.
Backtracking from his previous statement to a local news agency that the Nutnussa camp, the sole migrant camp in frontier Kupwara was not targeted by the mob, Senior Superintendent of Police Kupwara, Aijaz Ahmed said he would have to re-verify the facts. "I will have to check it out if any stones were pelted… Actually we have been very busy with the situation for all these days. I will get back to you," the SSP said.
The SSP Baramulla, Imtiyaz Hussain, however stood firm by his statement that no migrant was targeted anywhere in his district. "I stand by my statement that no migrant camp was targeted in Baramulla," the official said. |
