Police on Tuesday dispelled rumours about the video purportedly issued by a news agency suggesting that suspended and now arrested DySP Adil Mushtaq was involved in Kokernag encounter as an insider betrayal that claimed lives of three officers.
In a post on X, Kashmir police quoted ADGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar as terming the video as baseless.
“It has come to notice that a video news item has been uploaded purportedly issued by a news agency by the name of Bharat TAK suggesting that DSP Adil Mushtaq is involved in the Kokernag terror incident as an insider betrayal. There is no truth to this video news,” the police tweeted.
“DSP Adil Mushtaq is being investigated for an entirely different case in Srinagar district and not in Anantnag. This type of irresponsible journalism is also an act of criminal misconduct and is liable for legal action,” it further stated.
