An order surfaces on social media says that the Jammu and Kashmir Police, in response to the killings of two additional non-locals, has directed all district chiefs to gather non-resident labourers and transport them “immediately” to the nearest security camps.
“All non-local labourers in your respective jurisdiction should be brought to the nearest police, central paramilitary force, or army establishment right now,” Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar said in a memo sent to all district police, the message reads.
The order was fake!
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Vijay Kumar Sunday strongly rebutted the order asking non-local labourers to reach police stations and army camps terming it as “totally baseless and fake order.”
According to Kashmir-based news agency KNO, IGP Kashmir said, “There is no such order. It’s a fake one”. An order that has gone viral on social media reads that all DIGs are impressed upon to take all non-local labourers to police stations and army camps. The order was circulated after the killing of two non-Kashmiri residents in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
