In a disturbing incident that has sparked outrage and shock, a video has surfaced showing a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir.

The politician who has reacted strongly to this incident is Iltija Mufti, the daughter of former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and a prominent leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In a statement, Iltija Mufti has termed the incident as “shocking and unbecoming” and has criticized the high-handed behavior of the police.
“It’s shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” Iltija Mufti said. “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further.”
The incident that has sparked this outrage occurred when a group of protesters were staging a demonstration against the mysterious deaths in Devsar, Kulgam. The protesters were demanding an investigation into the deaths and seeking justice for the families of the deceased. However, the police, who were deployed to maintain law and order, responded with force and baton-charged the protesters.
The video shows a policeman kicking a woman protester, who is seen trying to shield her face from the blows. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for action against the policeman involved and for the government to take steps to ensure that such incidents do not recur.
The incident is not an isolated one. In recent months, there have been several instances of police brutality and high-handedness in Jammu and Kashmir, which have sparked widespread anger and protests. The Kashmir Valley has been witnessing a surge in protests and clashes between security forces and protesters, with many demanding an end to the alleged human rights abuses and seeking justice for the victims of these abuses.
The situation in the valley has been tense since the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The move has led to widespread protests and clashes, with many accusing the government of violating the rights of the people of the valley.
Iltija Mufti’s reaction to the incident is a reflection of the growing frustration and anger among the people of the valley. The politician has been vocal about the need for dialogue and reconciliation in the valley and has accused the government of pursuing a policy of repression and violence.
The incident also raises questions about the training and behavior of the police in Jammu and Kashmir. It is the responsibility of the police to maintain law and order and to ensure the safety and security of all citizens. However, in recent months, there have been several instances of police brutality and high-handedness, which have sparked widespread outrage.
The government must take immediate action to address this issue and to ensure that the police behave in a manner that is consistent with their duties and responsibilities. The government must also initiate a probe into the incident and take action against the policeman involved.
In conclusion, the shocking incident of a policeman kicking a woman protester in Jammu and Kashmir is a reflection of the growing frustration and anger among the people of the valley. The government must take immediate action to address this issue and to ensure that the police behave in a manner that is consistent with their duties and responsibilities.
