Indian Army will not constitute any Court of Inquiry (CoI) against Major Aditya in connection with the killing of two youths in Sophian’s Ganowpora village on Saturday afternoon, sources in the Army said.
However, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have already registered a case against the Major and his Army unit, 10 Garhwal Rifles.
The charges of murder and ‘attempt to murder’ have been invoked against the army in an FIR registered at a police station in Shopian.
The FIR has been registered under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 336 (endangering life).
Jammu and Kashmir government has also ordered a magisterial probe into the killing of two youth – Javed Ahmad Bhat and Suhail Javed Lone – in army firing in Ganowpora yesterday.
Army has claimed that they opened fire in “self-defence” after a “mob tried to lynch an officer” during protests.
