Soldiers Challenge "Dilution" Of AFSPA In Top Court, Say No Police Probe | Read

Citing several instances of police cases against army men in Jammu and Kashmir and Manipur, the petition said prosecuting soldiers who are doing their duty by the civilian authorities like the police and the Central Bureau of Investigations will lower morale and endanger national security.
