At least 13 horses were killed and three others injured after forces' vehicle ran over them in Frisal area of Kulgam district.
The nomads (Bakerwals) who were travelling from Pahalgam to Rajouri with sheep and goats along with horses alleged that they were also beaten.
“We were coming from Pahalgam and as we reached Frisal- via Bijbehara – Yaripora- Shopian route, the army men on board in a Casper intercepted us,” said Muhammad Aslam, one of the Bakerwals.
“They let us go for a couple of hundred meters before they reappeared and killed our horses,” he said.
He alleged that the army men rammed their vehicle, “not one, not twice but thrice onto the horses, which were lined up on both sides of the road. They first hit the horses on the left and then reversed their vehicle and hit twice more, this time on the right side of the road,”
Abdul Wahid, another Bakerwal said that the incident took place at Damidola crossing of the village.
“The army men came out of the vehicle and beat many of us before fleeing the spot,” Wahid said.
Police have lodged an FIR-number 109/ 2016 under section 297 of the RPC- against an unidentified vehicle.
Army however denied that its men were involved in any such incident.
“The allegations are completely false and baseless,” Srinagar based spokesperson of the army, Rajesh Kalia told Greater Kashmir.
