Mufti’s Escort Vehicle Skids Off Road in J&K, 3 Policemen Injured
In a recent incident that has sent shockwaves across the Kashmir Valley, an escort vehicle in the cavalcade of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti met with an accident in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday. The accident took place when the escort vehicle lost control and skidded off the road, injuring three police personnel.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident occurred when the escort vehicle, which was part of Mufti’s security convoy, was traveling from Sopore to Baramulla. The vehicle allegedly lost control and veered off the road, resulting in the injury of three police personnel who were traveling in the vehicle.
The injured policemen were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, where they are currently receiving treatment. The extent of their injuries is not yet known, but officials have confirmed that they are stable and out of danger.
An investigation has been launched by the police into the incident, with officials collecting evidence and speaking to witnesses to determine the cause of the accident. The police have also issued a statement expressing concern over the incident and assuring that a thorough investigation will be conducted to determine the circumstances surrounding the accident.
This is not the first time that Mufti’s security convoy has been involved in an accident. In 2019, an SUV in her convoy was involved in a collision with a tanker in Srinagar, resulting in the injury of several people. The incident sparked widespread criticism and concern over the security arrangements for Mufti and other high-profile political leaders in the region.
The accident has raised questions about the safety and security of high-profile leaders in the region, particularly in the wake of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The Kashmir Valley has been a hotbed of political unrest and violence in recent years, with frequent incidents of stone-pelting, clashes between security forces and protesters, and even gunfights between security forces and militant groups.
Mufti, who is currently the president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been a vocal critic of the Indian government’s policies in Kashmir and has repeatedly called for greater autonomy and self-governance for the region. Her party has been a key player in the region’s politics for decades and has often found itself at odds with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the security arrangements for Mufti and other leaders in the region. The Kashmir Valley has been plagued by political violence and unrest for decades, and the security situation has only deteriorated in recent years. The government has faced widespread criticism for its handling of the situation, with many calling for greater efforts to address the root causes of the unrest and to improve security arrangements for high-profile leaders.
In conclusion, the accident involving Mufti’s escort vehicle is a sobering reminder of the risks and challenges faced by high-profile leaders in the region. It is essential that the government and security agencies take immediate action to address the security concerns and ensure the safety and security of all leaders, including Mufti. The people of Kashmir deserve better, and it is the responsibility of the government to provide them with a safe and secure environment.
