Three Lt Colonels Among Army Personnel Booked by Police in Kashmir After Scuffle

Jammu and Kashmir police have filed a case against 16 army soldiers, including three officers, for assaulting policemen at a police station in Kupwara district. Five police personnel, including the Station House Officer, were injured in the incident, official sources said.

A video purportedly showing the soldiers storming inside the police station late Tuesday evening was widely shared on social media.

The army has denied assaulting the cops and termed it an incident of "minor differences".

"The reports of altercation between police and army personnel and beating of police personnel are mis-founded and incorrect. Minor differences between the police personnel and a territorial army unit on an operational matter have been amicably resolved," said a defence spokesperson.
