Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said he has taken the Baramulla and Billawar incidents with the central government and insisted on a time bound and transparent probe.
”I have seen the reports of excessive use of force & harassment of Makhan Din in police custody in Billawar leading to his suicide and the death of Waseem Ahmed Malla, shot by the army under circumstances that are not entirely clear,” Omar posted on X, formerly twitter.
“I have taken up these incidents with the Union Government and insisted that both incidents are inquired into in a time bound, transparent manner,” he said.
The CM said J&K government will also order its own inquiries.
He said both these incidents are highly unfortunate and should not have happened.
“J&K will never be completely normalised and free of terror without the cooperation of & partnership with the local population. Incidents like these risk alienating the very people who we need to carry with us on the road to complete normalcy,” added the CM.
