SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s charge sheet in the Amshipora, Shopian “fake” encounter has brought to the fore how an army Captain Bhupinder Singh hatched the conspiracy to kill three young men while keeping his senior in the dark.
The chargesheet states that no police report was taken before establishing contact with the alleged militants at the site of the encounter while the accused officer did not inform his seniors “till the last moment of design.”
As per the charge sheet, Captain Singh along with two civilians, Tabish Nazir Malik and Bilal Lone staged the encounter while tampering with evidence.
