Srinagar, July 24: Four persons were detained by the police on Sunday in connection with the beating of a journalist in the Srinagar area of Central Kashmir.
According to a handout provided to GNS by the police, Shabraiz Bashir, the son of the late Bashir Ahmad Party and a resident of Hamdanya colony Bemina and a reporter for News Now, filed a written complaint last night alleging that on July 23, 2022, four unidentified individuals beat him up in Bemina Chowk before fleeing the scene in a white Swift car.
The police spokesman added that the applicant was hurt as a result of the assault. In this regard, Police Station Bemina received Case FIR No. 71/22 U/S 341,323 IPC and opened an inquiry. Imran Manzoor son of Manzoor Ahmed Badyri resident of Mansoor colony Bemina, Mohd Qasim son of Manzoor Ahmed Dar resident of Ferdous colony Bemina, and Jahanger Ahmed Khan son of Farooq Ahmad Khan resident of Ferdous abad Batmaloo were the four people who were arrested as a result of the investigation, which included efforts to find the accused and analysis of CCTV footage, etc.
Prima facie the case seems to be of road-rage.
