Police on Monday ordered an inquiry after a video surfaced purportedly showing a police officer kicking a woman protester in Kulgam district.<\/p>\n
“A video has surfaced on the social media regarding a police officer’s conduct with the public in Kulgam. We have taken cognisance of the yesterday’s incident and the allegations regarding the officers conduct,” Kashmir Zone Police said in a post on X.<\/p>\n
\nShocking & unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar Kulgam. It is this high handed behaviour from officers expected to uphold law that creates a trust deficit alienating people even further.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/gNnINibcBR<\/a><\/p>\n

It said the DIG South Kashmir Range (SKR) would enquire into the incident that happened on Sunday and submit a report within 10 days. Earlier, PDP leader Iltija Mufti criticised the officer’s behaviour and demanded a probe.<\/p>\n

Protests broke out in the district on Sunday after the body of a youth, who was among three persons missing since last month, was recovered from a water body.<\/p>\n
Three days earlier, his brother’s body was recovered from the same stream. Meanwhile, a search operation is underway for the third missing person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
