JCO, 2 jawans indicted in Sopore firing
Srinagar: A Junior Commissioned Officer and two soldiers were on Friday indicted for “various lapses” in connection with a firing incident at Bomai in Sopore on February 21, in which two youths were killed. An Army court of inquiry headed by a brigadier held the three belonging to 22 Rashtriya Rifles accountable for “various lapses,” a defence spokesman said. Disciplinary action had been ordered.
Mohammad Amin Tantray and Javid Ahmad were killed and Firdous Ahmed was injured in the firing, sparking massive protests demanding the shifting of the Army camp from the town.
The Army ordered an inquiry after initially denying its involvement. The charges included failure of the personnel to “exercise desired command and control as also failure on the part of the two soldiers in exercising restraint in the handling of their weapons,” the spokesman said. — PTI
