Army-Cops Clash In J&K's Kupwara, Case Against 16 Including 3 Lt Colonels
In a shocking incident, a violent clash occurred between army soldiers and police personnel at a police station in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. The incident resulted in injuries to five police personnel, including the Station House Officer (SHO).
According to official sources, the clash erupted when a group of army soldiers stormed into the police station late Tuesday evening. A video purportedly showing the soldiers assaulting the cops has been widely shared on social media, raising concerns about the use of excessive force.
The army has denied the allegations of assault and has termed the incident as a case of 'minor differences'. However, the police have filed a case against 16 army soldiers, including three officers holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. The charges against the soldiers include rioting, attempt to murder, and kidnapping of policemen.
The incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters. The police have alleged that the army personnel attacked them without any provocation and even snatched their mobile phones. The injured cops have been shifted to a hospital for treatment and are reported to be in stable condition.
The clash has raised serious questions about the relationship between the army and the police in Jammu and Kashmir. It is essential that both forces work together to maintain law and order and protect the citizens of the region. The incident should be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action should be taken against those responsible for the violence.
