Acting on the direction of Deputy Commissioner Jahangir Mir, District Superintendent of Police Monday placed 3 police officials under suspension besides attaching SHO police station Kulgam for alleged excesses in a raid carried out during the intervening night of 19 and 20 January at Laro village here. An SPO has also been disengaged in this connection.
The people of the village had staged a protest over the last two days, demanding stern action against the officials allegedly involved in this matter.
The Deputy Commissioner this morning visited the village and the house where the incident took place to take stock of the situation. The police had raided the house to effect the arrest of family members in connection with an FIR lodged against them.
Jahangir also ordered probe by Addl. District Development Commissioner M.Y. Zargar, who has been directed to furnish factual report within a fortnight. Pacified by the prompt action of the administration, the people later called off the strike and thanked the Deputy Commissioner for his swift action.
Meanwhile the Deputy Commissioner briefed the Divisional Commissioner about the whole event.
