New Delhi: In acknowledgment of India’s ongoing fake encounter spree, the National Human Rights Commission has sought detailed reports from authorities in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir regarding separate complaints concerning targeted killings of civilians and serious human rights violations by Indian police personnel.
According to Kashmir24, the Commission, in one case, directed the Indian police to submit an Action Taken Report after taking cognisance of allegations regarding recurring targeted killings and lack of transparency in investigations and prosecutions. The bench headed by Priyank Kanoongo issued notice to the Director General of Police, seeking a report within two weeks.
The complaint, filed by advocate Vineet Jindal, cited past incidents including the Nadimarg and Wandhama massacres and attacks on Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, alleging that many cases remain unresolved due to opaque investigative processes. It maintained that such failures violate fundamental rights guaranteed under the Indian Constitution, including the right to life, equality, and freedom of religion.
