Army to hold inquiry into Qazigund civilian deaths
Srinagar, July 19 (IBNS): The Army announced on Tuesday that it will hold an inquiry into the firing incident at Qazigund, when three people were killed and six injured, according media reports.
With the death of three more civilians, including two women, since Monday, the toll in the strife-torn Kashmir rose to 43 as restrictions and a complete shutdown remained in force across the valley for the 11th day on Tuesday, media reports said.
Two people, including a woman, were killed when the Army opened fire in “self-defence against a stone pelting crowd at Devsar near Qazigund in Kulgam district on Monday evening, the media reported quoting defence sources.
“The Army deeply regrets, the unfortunate loss of life in the incident at Churat, Qaziund where the troops were forced to open fire on Monday when a large mob turned violent, resorting to heavy stone pelting and attempted to snatch weapons from the soldiers,” reported the Indian Express quoting a defence spokesperson.
