Srinagar: Stating that the detained youth in North Kashmir who doesn’t have any serious cases against them shall be freed only after consultations with their guardians, the police Thursday said that the people having chronic cases against them shall have to face the court of law.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police (North Kashmir) told KNS over phone that some 12 stone pelters have also been detained during the clashes that erupted on the poling day on Baramulla. He further clarified that the army has not harassed anyone in the area and those who are leveling the allegations of such nature should site one example. “Show us a single place where Army has assaulted people. There are no such reports as such,” said DIG north Ghulam Hassan Bhat.
He added that the people who were detained ahead of the polls shall be freed if no cases against them are found. “We will hold consultations with their parents so that they could not indulge in stone pelting again.”
