The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has acknowledged a complaint alleging repeated targeted killings of Hindu civilians and other vulnerable communities in Jammu and Kashmir. A notice has been issued to the J&K Director General of Police to investigate the allegations and submit an Action Taken Report within two weeks.
The complaint, filed by advocate Vineet Jindal of the Anti Terrorism Global Front (ATGF), expresses concerns about ongoing violence and lack of transparency in investigations and prosecutions. It references past incidents like the Nadimarg and Wandhama massacres, as well as attacks on Amarnath Yatra pilgrims in 2000 and 2017.
Alleging unresolved cases due to transparency issues in investigations, arrests, and prosecutions, the complaint highlights violations of fundamental rights such as the Right to Life, Equality, and Freedom of Religion. Seeking NHRC intervention, the complainant requests detailed investigation reports, status of FIRs, arrests, preventive measures, and compensation for victims’ families.
The NHRC has directed the Jammu and Kashmir Police to examine the allegations and provide a detailed report promptly. All communication related to the matter should be channeled through the HRCNet portal, including investigation details and supporting materials.
