Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has reacted strongly and questioned the Police after they did a press conference where it was revealed that the investigations into the controversial Hyderpora ‘encounter’ was underway.
“If the SIT is “still investigating the matter” then what was the need to rush to the press with a statement yesterday? I don’t recall reading anywhere that yesterday’s report was an interim one,” Omar Abdullah tweeted.
Omar also reacted to police warning politicians over speculative statements.
“As to the “threat of penal action”. Criticising the report, whether interim or final is the right of any citizen & it does not behove J&K police to be trying to threaten people in to submission. If the SIT wants people to believe the report it should report the truth, period,” he wrote in another Tweet.
