Srinagar, India, Dec 30 (efe-epa).- Security forces in India-administered Kashmir on Wednesday gunned down three alleged militants, sparking outrage and allegations that the troops had staged a gunfight to hide civilian killings.
“Three militants have been killed in an overnight operation in the Lawaypora area of Srinagar,” an officer at the police control room told EFE on the condition of anonymity.
The authorities claimed that they had seized arms and ammunition from the site of the encounter.
However, the families of the deceased gathered at the police headquarters a few hours later, claiming that these three were their “innocent relatives and were killed in a fake gunfight.”
