2020 J&K Fake Encounter: Families To Challenge Relief To Army Captain

As the news of the armed forces tribunal granting the relief to Captain Bhoopendra Singh reached the village in Rajouri district the men were from, their grieving families vowed not to remain silent and decided to move a higher court.

Family members of three men killed in a "staged" encounter in south Kashmir's Amshipora in July 2020 have dubbed as "grave injustice" the suspension of the life sentence of the Army captain and the grant of bail to him in the case.

As the news of the armed forces tribunal granting the relief to Captain Bhoopendra Singh reached the village in Rajouri district the men were from, their grieving families vowed not to remain silent and decided to move a higher court.

Suspending the sentence, the tribunal granted conditional bail to Singh and directed him to appear before its principal registrar at regular intervals from January next year.
