In July, military personnel – Abrar Ahmed Khan, Imtiaz Ahmed and Abrar Ahmed Yusuf – who had left home to find work, were killed. Local police recovered a pistol and live ammunition from the scene, and a special investigation unit said the army initially identified the victims as “terrorists.”
In a statement on Sunday, police accused Captain Bhupendrasinh and another of kidnapping and killing the men, calling the killings a fake military encounter and implanting illegally acquired weapons and materials on their bodies after stripping them of their identities. And branded them as hardcore terrorists. ”
Police added that Singh “deliberately and intentionally” chose not to follow standard operating procedures in Kashmir.
The Indian military has not indicated whether the captain will be prosecuted under civil jurisdiction or in a military court. Under the Emergency Act enacted in Jammu and Kashmir since 1990, Indian military personnel cannot be tried in civil courts under general jurisdiction without the permission of the federal government.
Prosecution of military officers for alleged crimes and abuse is rare, however, similar claims of stage incidents have been made in the past, which investigate and charge for all unusual things.
