Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident, an overground worker (OGW) in Kashmir’s Kulgam district jumped into a river and drowned, sparking allegations of foul play from former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The incident has sent shockwaves across the region, with the BJP swiftly countering Mufti’s claims.
According to reports, the OGW, identified as a local resident, was picked up by the Army two days ago. However, he managed to escape and jumped into the river, where he drowned. The incident has raised several questions, with many wondering what could have driven the worker to take such a drastic step.
Mufti, who was the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 2015 to 2018, took to Twitter to express her concerns about the incident. She alleged that the worker was picked up by the Army two days ago, and his death was a “clear case of foul play.” Mufti’s tweet read, “Dreadful news from Kulgam! Reports indicate that an OGW was picked up by the Army 2 days ago. His body has been found in the river. Clearly a case of foul play. Why is the Indian Army resorting to such barbaric acts?”
However, the BJP was quick to respond to Mufti’s allegations, with its leader Sanju Verma saying that the former Chief Minister was trying to create a controversy where none existed. Verma reminded Mufti of her previous remarks after the Pahalgam terror attack, where she had questioned the need to blame Pakistan for the incident. Verma tweeted, “Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she’s saying that the Army picked up an OGW and killed him. Which one is true, Mehbooba ji? Are you trying to create a controversy where none exists?”
The BJP’s reaction has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many supporters of Mufti defending her allegations and accusing the Army of human rights abuses. However, others have criticized Mufti for making unsubstantiated claims and trying to create a controversy.
The incident has also raised questions about the working of the Army in Kashmir, with many questioning the need for such a strong military presence in the region. The Army has been accused of human rights abuses in the past, with many civilian casualties reported during security operations.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched an investigation into the incident, and an autopsy has been conducted to determine the cause of the worker’s death. However, the incident has highlighted the fragile security situation in Kashmir, where militant groups continue to operate and pose a threat to the lives of civilians and security personnel.
In the wake of the incident, there have been calls for an independent inquiry into the matter, with many demanding that the truth behind the worker’s death be revealed. The incident has also underscored the need for greater cooperation between the political leadership and the security forces in Kashmir, with many stressing the importance of addressing the root causes of militancy in the region.
As the investigation into the incident continues, the people of Kashmir remain on edge, wondering what could have driven the worker to take such a drastic step. The incident has sent a chilling message to those working with the security forces in the region, and has raised concerns about the safety and security of civilians in Kashmir.
In conclusion, the incident of the OGW jumping into the river and drowning has sent shockwaves across Kashmir, with allegations of foul play sparking a heated debate on social media. While the investigation into the matter is ongoing, it is clear that the incident highlights the need for greater cooperation between the political leadership and the security forces in Kashmir, as well as the need for an independent inquiry into the matter.
