Days after the Indian Army completed its investigation into allegations that three labourers were killed in a fake encounter, and buried as unidentified militants, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has filed a charge sheet against three persons, including an Army captain.
The 1,400-page charge sheet was filed in the court of the chief judicial magistrate, Shopian, on Saturday in the killings of Rajouri residents Imtiyaz Ahmed, Abrar Ahmed and Mohammed Abrar. It was filed by the head of the Special Investigation Team.
