Jammu, June 7: Incidentally, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) had depicted J&K police as a villain in a 23-page study titled "Role and functioning of the CRPF" stating that the state police uses the paramilitary personnel as a shield and pass on the blame to them while committing human rights violations themselves.
IDSA, an autonomous research body funded by the defence ministry, has painted a gloomy picture of the force's morale. "In several instances, while the firing was done by the local police, the blame was passed on to the CRPF. In some cases, when the CRPF wanted to lodge FIRs, they were not lodged while people's FIRs against the CRPF were quite easily lodged," the study, undertaken after the massive protests in Kashmir in 2010, says.
As per the study, CRPF men posted in Kashmir say the state government is exploiting them while the central government is indifferent to their concerns. The CRPF is the mainstay of law and order in the Valley. The CRPF, whose 326 companies (each company has more than 35 personnel) are deployed in the valley (figures of March 2011), was blamed for a majority of civilian deaths but the study suggests the force might just be a convenient target.
