With no help coming from the administration despite multiple requests by residents over the years, the people of the village decided to take matters into their own hands.
Officials said Wednesday that prima facie, the initial statements from those questioned pointed to the “fault” of Army personnel during the questioning of the eight civilians.
Four Army personnel were killed and another three injured Thursday in the ambush near Topa Pir while they were on their way from Bufliaz in Poonch to Thanamandi in Rajouri where a Rashtriya Rifles unit is located.
Mehbooba Mufti attacked the Centre for its claims of peace and normalcy in the region stating that “Rajouri-Poonch is an area which has never supported violence or militancy.”
The families of the victims alleged that the deceased and some other people were picked up by the army from their homes in Topa Peer village in Bafliaz area of Poonch district on Friday morning, and in the afternoon they were informed about their death.
