SRINAGAR, Oct 22: A government commission in Indian-held Kashmir has called for a fresh probe into the alleged mass rapes in two villages by Indian army personnel 20 years ago, a report said on Saturday.
Kashmir’s State Human Rights Commission has recommended that the government set up a special team to reinvestigate the alleged gang-rape of at least 31 women by Indian army personnel in 1991. The women from the villages of Kunan and Poshpora in Kupwara district had claimed that they had been raped by soldiers during the night of February 23-24 in 1991.—AFP
