JK govt will not shield anyone involved in HR violations:Omar

Srinagar, Aug 15 (PTI) Asserting that his government will
not shield anyone involved in human rights violations,
northern Indian state Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar
Abdullah on Monday said the allegations in the Kulgam rape
case have been found to be incorrect.
"The investigations into the Kulgam incident have
revealed that there is too much difference between the
allegations and the reality," Omar said in his Independence
Day speech at Bakshi stadium here.
A 32-year-old woman had alleged that she was kidnapped by
two army men on July 19 and raped for two days before being
set free on July 21, leading to protests in Manzgam area of
Kulgam district.
However, no marks of violence or resistance were found on
the woman's body during the medical examination.
The police officials had maintained a silence on the
progress in investigations saying the forensic report of the
swabs had not been received.
Commenting on other allegations of rights violations,
Omar said several personnel have been arrested and booked
under murder charges in the Sopore custodial death case and
the Surankote fake encounter case.
"Investigations are going on against others (security
forces personnel)," he said.
The Chief Minister said there were elements, who tried to
incite people to agitate and protest against these violations.
"We are worried when such incidents take place but
please give this government some time to investigate. We will
not spare the guilty," he said.
