The inquiry will also look into the recurrent loss of own troops in terrorist attacks in the area of responsibility of the officer in recent times, said sources.
A Brigade Commander of the Army has been asked to join the formal inquiry into the death of three civilians who were detained by troops for questioning in connection with a terrorist attack on Friday in Jammu and Kashmir. The action comes after the Army said it has zero tolerance for violence against innocent civilians.
The inquiry will also look into the recurrent loss of own troops in terrorist attacks in the area of responsibility of the officer in recent times, said sources.
The move coincides with Army Chief General Manoj Pande's visit to Jammu. He reached Jammu this morning and later left for the Rajouri-Poonch sector to review the operational preparedness of the force and the prevailing security situation.
