Mufti Alleges Foul Play After OGW Jumps in J&K River, Drowns; BJP Slams Her
In a shocking incident, an overground worker (OGW) in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir jumped into a river and drowned, sparking allegations of foul play by former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. The incident has sent shockwaves across the region, with both political parties trading barbs over the issue.
According to reports, the OGW, identified as 25-year-old Nisar Ahmad, was picked up by the Army two days ago. However, he managed to escape and jumped into the river in Kulgam district, where he drowned. The locals have alleged that the Army was involved in his disappearance and subsequent death, which has led to widespread outrage and anger.
Reacting to the incident, Mehbooba Mufti, the former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, took to social media to express her concern and allegations of foul play. “Shocking incident in Kulgam where an OGW was picked up by the Army two days ago and later found dead in a river. Locals are alleging that he was tortured and thrown into the river. The truth must come out,” she tweeted.
However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has slammed Mufti’s remarks, accusing her of playing politics over the issue. “Mehbooba, after the Pahalgam terror attack, said, ‘Why blame Pakistan?’ Now, she is crying foul play over an OGW’s death. Her statement is an insult to the martyr’s family,” said Sanju Verma, a BJP leader.
The incident has sparked a heated debate in the region, with both sides trading barbs over the issue. The Army has denied any involvement in the incident, saying that the OGW was picked up for questioning and later released. However, the locals and Mufti’s party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), have refused to accept the Army’s version, alleging that the OGW was tortured and killed.
The PDP has demanded a thorough investigation into the incident, saying that the truth must come out. “We demand a high-level inquiry into the incident and punishment for those responsible,” said Muzaffar Hussain Beigh, a senior PDP leader.
The incident has also raised questions over the treatment of OGWs in the region. OGWs are individuals who work for militant groups but do not actively participate in armed operations. However, they are often targeted by security forces, who view them as a threat to national security.
The incident has also led to concerns over the human rights situation in the region. Human rights activists have long accused the security forces of using excessive force and torture against suspected militants and OGWs. The incident has raised concerns that the security forces may be using similar tactics to silence dissenting voices in the region.
In conclusion, the incident has sparked a heated debate in the region, with both sides trading barbs over the issue. While the Army has denied any involvement in the incident, the locals and Mufti’s party have refused to accept the Army’s version, alleging that the OGW was tortured and killed. The incident has raised concerns over the treatment of OGWs in the region and the human rights situation in the region.
