SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir police on Tuesday dispelled rumors about DySP Adil Mushtaq’s involvement in the Kokernag encounter after a video issued by a news agency started making rounds on social media.
ADGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar in a post on X termed the video as baseless and said that Adil Mushtaq is being investigated for an entirely different case.
“It has come to notice that a video news item has been uploaded purportedly issued by a news agency by the name of Bharat TAK suggesting that DSP Adil Mushtaq is involved in the Kokernag terror incident as an insider betrayal. There is no truth to this video news,” police said.
It said, “DSP Adil Mushtaq is being investigated for an entirely different case in Srinagar district and not in Anantnag. This type of #irresponsible #journalism is also an act of criminal misconduct and is liable for legal action.”
