"We feel hurt about the utterances. If they have evidence, they should present it to the investigation panel. Their remarks are unlawful and law will take its own course," said Mr Dilbag Singh, Director General of Police.
Politicians and the media have no right to criticise a police investigation report that exonerated policemen involved in last month's controversial encounter in Srinagar, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said on Friday, reiterating its warning for leaders who have termed the investigation a cover-up and concocted. Remarks on the SIT probe by different policial parties isn't mere speculation. They are grounded in facts. The administration's aversion & discomfort with truth coming to the fore is well known. Bullying us into silence by 'penal action' warnings wont work. https://t.co/4i3kCA9U7h
Dilbag Singh, Director General of Police, said that the probe into the Hyderpora encounter was transparent and he "feels hurt" by the criticism of political leaders.
"We feel hurt about the utterances. If they have evidence, they should present it to the investigation panel. Their remarks are unlawful and law will take its own course," said Mr Dilbag Singh, Director General of Police.
