Srinagar: Six policemen, including an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), were injured when Army soldiers allegedly thrashed them after being stopped at a check-post in central Kashmir district of Ganderbal. Meanwhile National Conference Working President and former chief minister Omar Abdullah Saturday demanded immediate action against Army personnel, who allegedly thrashed and wounded six policemen, including an officer, in central Kashmir district of Ganderbal
Meanwhile, Director General of Police (DGP) S P Vaid has taken up the matter with General officer Commanding (GoC) 15 corps Lt General J S Sandhu, who has assured action against the accused personnel.
Official sources said some private vehicles ferrying Army personnel in civvies, who were returning from Amarnath yatra, were stopped at a check-post at Gund in Ganderbal on Srinagar-Baltal base camp route late last night.
They said Army personnel got agitated and entered into a heated argument with naka party when asked to get down and show their identity cards.
“The Army personnel then roughed up the policemen on duty,” they said.
They said the policemen were later saved by the locals.
Following a militant attack on Amarnath yatra bus in south Kashmir early this month, authorities issued Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of not allowing yatri movement after 1930 hrs.
“Army personnel, including an officer, from an adjoining camp came to Police Station Gund and again allegedly roughed up other policemen present there,” they added.
A police spokesperson said Mr Vaid has taken up the incident with the Corp Commander, who is looking into it and has assured action.
However, defence ministry spokesman was not available.
Meanwhile, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah demanded immediate action against Army personnel. “Why would the Army beat up J&K police personnel in a police station? This requires immediate clarification/action by the authorities,” Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
Mr Abdullah said on the face of it, J&K police party was implementing the SOP of not allowing yatri movement after 1930 hrs.
“On the face of it J&K police party was implementing the SOP of not allowing yatri movement after 1930 hrs. Army chaps were yatris in civvies,” Mr Abdullah added.
