Not only this, it is alleged that they also forcibly took a policeman with them.
When the matter reached the top officials of Kashmir Police, a strict stand was taken on it. An FIR has been registered in this regard against 16 soldiers including three colonels of the Indian Army. A case has been registered against the army personnel under attempt to murder, robbery, kidnapping and Arms Act.
