HELD SRINAGAR: A judicial probe into the alleged rape and murder of two Kashmiri women, which triggered massive protests across the disputed Himalayan region, points to the involvement of Indian police, an official said on Friday.
Anti-India protests have raged across the Kashmir valley since the bodies of two Muslim women were found on May 29 in Shopian town, about 60 km south of Srinagar. Four protesters have died and hundreds have been injured. Locals say the two women, aged 17 and 22, were abducted, raped and killed by security forces. Authorities confirmed that the women were raped and ordered an investigation. “The involvement of some agency of the Jammu and Kashmir police in the present incident cannot be completely ruled out,” Abdul Rahim Rather, the state’s financial minister said, citing the Commission of Inquiry’s report on Friday.
