Another FIR was filed against the Border Security Force for the killing of a youth in the Batamaloo area of Srinagar

An FIR (first information report) has been filed against the Indian Army after a video surfaced of a man tied to the front of a jeep. Another FIR was filed against the Border Security Force for the killing of a youth in the Batamaloo area of Srinagar. Farooq Ahmad Dar was tied to the jeep to stop stone pelters, and paraded through villages of central Kashmir's Budgam district. The video went viral on social media and evoked angry response across Kashmir and the country. The FIR was filed against the Army's 53 Rashtriya Rifles at the Beerwah police station. A Times of India report however said that the government had decided to back the officer under whose watch Dar was tied to the jeep.
