Shopian probe for prosecution of cops, forensic official
Prosecution has been recommended on the charge of destruction of evidence.

Srinagar: The Judicial Commission which probed the rape and murder of two women in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday night submitted its final report recommending prosecution of four policemen and a forensic official on the charge of destruction of evidence, sources said.

The report submitted to the Principal Secretary (Home) did not come to a conclusion whether and how the two women were murdered, the sources said.

The Commission, headed by Justice (Retd) Muzaffar Jan, was appointed on June 1 following widespread protests by the locals during which two persons lost their lives and scores were injured in firing by security forces.

Four police officers including the then Shopian SP, an official of Forensic Science Laboratory and two doctors of Pulwama hospital were placed under suspension following recommendation by the Commission in its interim report submitted on June 21.

The Commission was required to submit the report within a month. However, the state government granted it ten days extension following a request.
