Six killed in BSF firing at Jammu protest over mosque entry

Jammu: Six people were killed when the BSF fired at protestors outside their camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district today. Several people were also injured in the incident.

Ramban is 151 km from the state's winter capital Jammu. Minister of State for Home Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo, who was rushing to the spot along with DGP Ashok Prasad, confirmed the death of four persons. He said a large number of people have been injured and rushed to different hospitals.




Unofficial reports, however, put the death toll at six. Officials in Jammu said that BSF opened fire when thousands of residents, led by Imam of a mosque, attacked their camp.

Mr. Kichloo told The Hindu that BSF opened fire when the residents of a village were protesting against the entry of some BSF personnel into a mosque with shoes. The imam and others also alleged desecration of the Quran at the hands of the personnel.

Senior police officials from Jammu are also rushing to the spot in a hilly terrain in the middle of the Pir Panjal mountain range.
