Srinagar, July 01: 2009: A deaf and dumb person Abdul Rashid, 45, of Pahalgam was shot dead by the Army outside the CM’s official residence at Gupkar Road.

Soldiers of 22 RR shot dead two civilians, Javaid Ahmed and Muhammad Amin Tantray, at Bomai in Sopore in February 2009. A probe was conducted by then Deputy Commissioner Baramulla Baseer Ahmed Khan, which indicted Army saying that “troopers killed two civilians without any provocation” and “the Army action was not only disproportionate but breached all operational procedures.” However, the case is yet to reach the court with police awaiting sanction from New Delhi.
