Caught on camera: CRPF men damaging public property
Srinagar: A video purportedly showing CRPF troopers going berserk in Nawab Bazaar locality of downtown Srinagar has gone viral on social networking websites.
The 11 minute grainy video clip title Nawab Bazar Kani Jung has apparently been shot with a mobile camera from a high rise building near the SMHS Hospital in Nawab Bazaar and has been uploaded on the YouTube on Saturday. The clip has been widely shared on Facebook and Twitter drawing severe condemnation from the users.
In the shaky video, CRPF troopers, carrying rifles, batons and shields are seen going berserk while chasing groups of protesters. An armored vehicle is seen chasing the protesters.
Besides, smashing windowpanes of residential houses with stones and sticks, the troopers in video are seen tearing off tarpaulin sheet of a shop. The troopers can also be seen kicking doors of a few residential houses. As the troopers retreat, a bulletproof Gypsy escorts them.
Refuting the allegations, Inspector General of CRPF, V S Vadav told Kashmir Reader that his men dont indulge in such activities. It must be an old video of any other force. Our men are disciplined. They dont break windowpanes or damage property, he added.
