In a tweet, the Army’s Srinagar-based 15 Corps had claimed that the joint operation was carried out on intelligence inputs of J&K Police. Police say it was the Army’s 2nd Rashtriya Rifles which gave intelligence inputs.
Renewing the demand for a judicial probe, affected families and political parties of Kashmir said the police probe findings are nothing but "only a repetition of the old story", which according to them is "concocted".
After the 'encounter' on November 15, the J&K lieutenant governor ordered a probe into the matter after families accused the police of killing innocent civilians.
