Shopian firing: SC restrains J&K govt from taking action against army Major

SC restrains Jammu and Kashmir government from taking any coercive action against Army officials allegedly involved in Shopian firing case.

SC asks J&K govt to file its response within two weeks to a plea by the father of accused Major Aditya Kumar.

Lieutenant Colonel Karamveer Singh said his son, a major in 10 Garhwal Rifles, was "wrongly and arbitrarily" named in the FIR as the incident relates to an Army convoy that was on bonafide military duty in an area under the AFSPA and was isolated by an "unruly and deranged" mob pelting stones, causing damage to military vehicles.
