Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today ordered an inquiry into the use of force against the Kashmiri Pandit employees who were protesting the killing of Rahul Bhat.
Protests were held at several places in Jammu and Kashmir against the killing as well as against the "failure" of the administration to provide security to the Kashmiri pandit employees. Police used batons and tear smoke shells at Sheikhpora in Budgam on Friday to quell the protest.
The government has ordered an inquiry into Bhat's killing and a SIT has been constituted.
"Bhat's murder was a targeted killing and an attempt has been made to create an atmosphere of fear and terror. He was a very good employee. We have constituted a SIT over the issue. The SHO has been attached. The SIT will investigate all the angles,'" Mr Sinha said here.
