Three Kashmiri civilians have tragically died while in the custody of Indian forces in Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir. The incident has sparked outrage in the region, with calls for accountability and justice. While details remain unclear, reports suggest the individuals were detained following an attack on Indian army vehicles. A purported video circulating online shows disturbing footage of alleged torture, further fueling anger and concern.
In response, the Indian army has reportedly launched an investigation into the incident and moved senior officers from the area. However, there are conflicting reports about the inquiry, with a defense spokesperson claiming unawareness.
Pakistan has strongly condemned the deaths, urging an independent investigation and urging those responsible to be held accountable. Local residents are demanding justice and expressing fear of reprisals for speaking out.
Authorities have temporarily restricted internet access in Poonch and Rajouri, a measure often used to prevent protests and the spread of inflammatory content. The situation remains tense, with potential for further unrest. While the incident is understandably generating strong emotions, it’s crucial to base discussions on verifiable facts and avoid inflammatory language. Respecting all parties involved, regardless of their perspective, is essential in seeking truth and justice.
