| J-K court directs police to book SSP for firing on protesters | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Sep 11
A local court on Thursday directed the J-K police to register a case against SSP Prabhat Singh in connection with the police firing in Samba which killed two youths during the Amarnath land agitation.
Acting on the complaint of Chanchal Singh and Khem Raj Pandha, parents of the deceased Sanjeev Singh and Sunny Pandha, the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate directed the crime branch to register a complaint under provisions of CrPC and submit a report within 15 days.
Sanjeev and Sunny were killed in police firing on protesters in Samba on August 4 last month during an agitation organised by Shri Amarnath Yatra Sangarsh Samiti (SAYSS)
SSP Singh has already been transferred from Sambha.
The parents have alleged that the Senior Superintendent of Police opened fire on peaceful protesters without any provocation.
They claimed that the control of the highway was with the army and the SSP had no right to open fire on peaceful protesters.
They also alleged that the SSP neither issued any warning to the protesters nor did he receive orders from the District Magistrate before resorting to firing.
Instead of firing below the knee, the SSP fired at the heads of both the victims resulting in their on the spot death, the petition alleged. |
