SC stays J&K FIR against Army officer over civilian deaths
The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the FIR against Major Aditya Kumar in the Shopian firing case, in which three civilians were killed and nine others were injured in J&K. The court directed that no coercive action be taken against Major Aditya in connection with the incident. The Army has maintained that it fired into the stone-pelting crowd in self-defence.
