| Govt assures full legal support to accused Police officer | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 8: With a local court here having sought registration of FIR against Deputy Superintendent of Police, Shaheed Gunj, for alleged cold-blooded murder of youth in Tengpora locality here on July 18, the state government is understood to have assured of all possible legal support to the accused cop even in the Supreme Court.

again plans to move the High Court as the Chief Judicial Magistrate has sought registration of the FIR.
Sources said the police had conveyed to the higher ups that the cops would feel discouraged if the young official was booked for "trying his level best to the restore law and order" in the Valley on boil sinceJuly 8, when militant commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani was killed.
It was reliably learnt that government assured all possible legal assistance to save Qadri from being booked for murder.
Insiders said Police have been assured that the government would fight for the cause of the young police official to get him exonerated.
Sources said the government has asked the Advocate General Jahangir Iqbal Ganie to prepare a strong case in defense of the DSP even if it means to hire leading lawyers from across the country.
Meanwhile as police failed to comply with the court orders with regard to Tengapora killing, the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Srinagar Masrat Shaeen Monday referred contempt proceedings against the IGP
Kashmir and SSP Srinagar to High Court.
"Reference is made to the Hon'ble High Court of J&K with the prayer for taking action under Contempt of Courts Act against the contemnors namely SSP Srinagar and IGP Kashmir in order to uphold the Majesty of law and in order to get the orders of the Court implemented.
