Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday demanded “a thorough probe” into both the Poonch attack and the death of a civilian in security forces’ custody.
“We lost five soldiers in the unfortunate incident in Poonch (on April 20). We were expecting truth to come to the fore. Recently, former J&K Governor Satya Pal Malik suggested that attempts were made to hide the reality of the Pulwama attack in 2019. This time, we need to reach to the root of the incident and establish how such an incident took place in the Army- dominated and secure region of Bhimbher Gali of Poonch,” Ms. Mufti said in a press conference in Srinagar.
