They worked for terrorist organisations, say official sources quoting security agencies
The J&K Government on Tuesday terminated two more employees, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP)-rank officer and a principal, in the Valley “in the interest of the security of the State”.
Feroz Ahmad Lone, who worked in the Prisons Department, and Javid Ahmad Shah, principal of the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Bijbehara, were terminated under Article 311 “in the interest of the security of the State”, which does not require any trial or investigation by the Department concerned, except for a report filed by the security agencies.
Official sources said the security agencies suggest that DSP Lone, who was appointed in 2012, “hatched a criminal conspiracy with terror commanders to send youths illegally into Pakistan or Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir for weapons training and indulge in acts of terrorism. DSP Lone was working for slain Hizbul Mujahideen ‘commander’ Riyaz Naikoo, in the past, the agencies suggested.
