SRINAGAR, Dec 29: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference today expressed dismay over the report submitted by Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Jammu and Kashmir police, giving a clean chit to the security forces that carried out the November 16 Hyderpora Operation, saying the report fails to suffice the legitimate concerns of victim families and general public.
Demanding an independent investigation into the matter, party Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said that the self-trial by police in the form of SIT stands rejected by the victim families therefore an independent Judicial probe, headed by a sitting judge is necessary to clear the air on versions put forwarded by the police and the one put forth by victim families.
“Given the stark contradiction between police and victim families versions, we demand an impartial and independent probe so that the real circumstances leading to the killings are brought to public view. Such an impartial probe will allay fears of different quarters including the victim family towards the police and the law enforcement machinery,” he said.
