Indian forces shoot dead six protesters in Kashmir: police

[RangerPK]

SRINAGAR, India / Jammu and Kashmir: Indian paramilitary troops Thursday shot dead six people protesting outside a Border Security Force station in Kashmir, two police officers said.

The incident happened in Gool, 230 kilometres south of the main city of Srinagar, the officers said on condition of anonymity.

“It is mayhem. Six are dead and dozens injured. The death toll could rise further,” said one.

Protesters had gathered outside the Border Security Force (BSF) station to demonstrate against an incident involving troops at a mosque on Wednesday evening, witnesses said.

The troops had entered the mosque in Gool to complain about the loud recitation of prayers by worshippers during the holy month of Ramazan, the witnesses told AFP.

Worshippers gathered outside the security force station from early Thursday to protest at the incident.

“The BSF soldiers fired indiscriminately, downing protesters left, right and centre,” one witness who declined to be identified told AFP by phone from the nearby village of Dharam.

This is not good. BSF should be more careful, especially during Ramzan. And shooting civilians is not defensible.

I suspect the mob must have become violent and maybe the situation was getting out of hand. An impartial inquiry and punishment for culprits is warranted.

I agree with you But from the Past experience the Soldiers may even be awarded with Medals for Killing these Innocent Peoples after tagging the Label "Terrorists" on them..

It is not so brazen. But there is a huge chance that the inquiry may conclude that the firing was justified as the mob turned violent...which may be partly true in any case.

These are the true colours of India, killing Kashmiris on Ramadan.

This is violence and oppression committed by Indian government. A state actor.

This is very wrong- the use of deadly/lethal force should be the measure of LAST resort- not FIRST.

The crowd control training of Indian police units on the whole needs to be stepped up. Apart few a few specialist units, Indian security agencies are woefully untrained and uneauipped to perform such duties in a safe and effective way.



RIP to all.

pak occupied kashmir is also not a part of pakistan and never will be. inshallah.
indian troops won't fire without any reason, BSF know what are they doing there. the mob may become turned violent and may also attack BSF, otherwise they won't fire.

Using live bullets was a condemnable act.

But.... This situation would have required riot police. BSF is not equipped to deal with these incidents. This is something the Ministry of Interior should have thought about.

Every single incident like this needs to be highlighted on our channels, IN ENGLISH.

We need to start creating media pressure for world consumption.

When Indian occupied Kashmir falls, the rest of India will collapse like a deck of cards so this must be our no 1 national objective.

For too long we have let Indians get away with their false flag operations and media campaigns. We must end this, and to do this we must play their game.

No better place to start than in Kashmir, I hope this is discussed during APC.

They were Pakistani terrorists.
