HM killing unarmed cops, civilians: Police
SRINAGAR, July 28 (CNS) : Coming down heavily on militant outfit Hizbul Mujhadeen, Deputy Inspector General of Police North Kashmir J.P Singh Sunday said this outfit is killing unarmed innocent policemen and civilians.
“HM is misleading police by declaring that Saqib, one of its active commanders is not affiliated with the outfit. We don not trust HM, it can go to any extent to fulfill its interests,” he told news gathering agency CNS adding that militancy in north Kashmir is confined to Sopore town only.
Admitting that it has become very difficult for the police to nab the militants in Sopore town, as according to him militants stroll and move without carrying weapons in the town. “Militants have changed their strategy now. They carry weapons only at the time of attack. Once they carry out the attack, they dump the weapon and live like common people,” Singh said.
He said there are only 30 militants present in north Kashmir among which five are non-locals. “Majority of the militants are present in North Kashmir who strike at unarmed Sarpanchs and policemen to show their presence,” he said.
DIG North Kashmir said that overall the graph of militancy has decreased in North Kashmir. “We have gunned down top militant commanders while the hunt to nab or kill the other militants is on. We would hopefully curb the militancy in the region,” he said adding that SPO Mudasir killed by local militants today was unarmed and in plain clothes when militants fired upon him.
