Indias BSF admits to killing Kashmiri boy
* BSF director general says prima facie evidence points to constable
SRINAGAR: Indias border guards said on Wednesday that one of their soldiers had shot dead an innocent boy in Kashmir last week, in a rare confession by troops after anti-India protests roiled the disputed region over the death.
The admission could ease a recent spike in tensions in Kashmir, where hundreds of people have been injured in pitched street battles between government forces and rock-pelting Muslim crowds protesting the killing of the boy. Those protests were threatening to morph into huge demonstrations against Indian rule in the disputed region, and embarrass New Delhi while it tried to reach out to moderate separatists to end a two-decade-long violent insurgency.
Inquiry: We have conducted an internal inquiry and prima facie evidence points to a constable, Border Security Force Director General PPS Sidhu told a news conference.
Exemplary punishment will be given to the person so that such crimes are not repeated in the future, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Omar Abdullah said.
In the past, government forces in Kashmir have been accused of killing civilians during protests and in staged gun battles by passing them off as separatist militants, charges security forces have mostly denied. Last year a judicial probe into the alleged rape and murder of two women, which also triggered massive protests across Kashmir, pointed to the involvement of police. But so far no police official has been identified or punished for the crime. agencies
