Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered an inquiry into an alleged fake encounter by the Army in the Machil Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) on April 30.
Police have arrested two Army informers for luring three villagers of Baramulla and handing them over to the Army. It's alleged that the three were later killed in a fake encounter.
The Army had claimed to have killed three militants and recovered AK rifles, ammunition and Pakistani currency from them. A few days later, villagers filed a complaint with the police saying three people were missing.
Now, a senior IAS officer will probe into the incident. The government has ordered that the bodies be exhumed and handed over to the relatives after proper identification.
When asked for a reaction, Defense Spokesman Lt Col Brar said, "Police are investigating the case."
