J&K: Seven Army men, including two officers convicted in 2010 Machil fake encounter case

Yes in one case there are thousands of other cases in Kashmir
No there isn't, except in the fertile imagination of Pakistanis. Such cases are rare anomalies, and perpetrators get punished, whether or not they do the crime in uniform. India doesn't have double standards for military personnel. In fact military personnel are more likely to get punished, so if at all there is double standard, it is against their favour.

All those stories of "millions of Kashmiris killed by the evil Indian army" are colourful works of fiction made up by Pakistanis to justify their citizens doing terror attacks in India.
 
That's very unprofessional of them. Why cant they act like a martial army and say that it never happened in the first place?

Such cases are quite common not rare in Indian held Kashmir

Or simply dismissed the courts and parliament and declared themselves god and king and law, and dismissed all cases against themselves. That's what martial armymen would do, any time they get in trouble. Then a decade later, pass a reconciliation ordinance and move to London or Saudi.

No, they aren't. Have you ever been to Indian Kashmir, to make such a judgement? Of course not, you would rather believe any nonsense that makes you feel good. Anybody who kills innocents will go to jail in India. It's as simple as that. It's not like this time the victims were well connected or the relatives of bigwigs - there is nothing special about them that would make the army punish the perpetrators, if standard procedure is to not punish.
 
Fake encounters for promotion is not new thing for IA, however admitting and punishing perpetrators is good change. Well done
 
If admitting is a new thing, how do you know it used to happen before they started admitting? Divya-drishti?

Check the archives for protests in IoK against encounters.....

Sure thing. Also check the court archives of each of those cases, what the resolution of the cases was. If there was any merit, the guilty have been punished, just as you see today. But we cannot give a dog a bad name and hang him - we cannot punish our soldiers every time that Pakistanis and separatists accuse them of crimes they did not commit.

There is nothing special about the victims in this incident, and no reason why the army had to swiftly punish the perpetrators, if they never used to do so before. Unless you believe that it is the new Modi effect. (That's sarcasm, in case somebody does not get it.)

Weeding out the bad apples in their ranks assiduously is what has kept the Indian army hold the moral high ground wherever they have been deployed. Today's verdict is yet another proof of that. Justice will be done, even if the heavens should fall.
