The J-K government today suspended nine policemen and ordered an inquiry into alleged security lapses following the massacre of 24 Kashmiri Pandits here in Pulwama district.
CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, who visited the carnage site, also ordered a review of security arrangements for the minority community throughout the state and asked DGP A.K. Suri to inquire into the alleged security lapses and report to the government. Nine policemen posted at the picket outside the village for the security of the minority community have been suspended pending an inquiry.
Sayeed met the survivors of the massacre and condoled the deaths. The Chief Minister sanctioned ex-gratia to the bereaved families and assured jobs to them. Earlier in the day, the Left parties demanded a probe into the J-K Police’s ‘‘inaction’’ in protecting the villagers.
