341 custodial deaths in 21 years: Govt


Jammu, Mar 31: After the recent report of Amnesty International on human rights violations in Kashmir, the State Government Thursday accepted that 341 persons have been killed in custody so far in the state since 1990.

In a written reply to a question of NC member Javed Rana in the Legislative Council, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said 341 people died in police custody in the state since 1990. However, there was no report of any custodial death from Rajouri and Poonch districts.

The Chief Minister said 113 people -- 99 from Poonch and 14 from Rajouri -- are reported missing since 1990. Similarly, the Government said 104 people were killed in last year's summer unrest while 962 were injured and 18 crippled for life.

Replying to a question of independent MLA from Langate, Engineer Rasheed, the Chief Minister said, "Probe has been ordered in 17 killings so far and Rs 10 crore have been sanctioned in favour of the families of the victims." (KNS)
