J&K's Minority Killings Cases to be Taken Over By NIA Due to 'Larger, International Implications' - News18
News 18The recent killings of minorities in Jammu and Kashmir will now be probed by the National Investigation Agency due to “larger and international implications”, CNN-News18 has learnt. Sources in the NIA also told CNN-News18 that these are terror killings and “we will take these case.” On September 30, militants had shot at and killed two teachers of a government school in Srinagar, both members of the region’s minority Sikh and Hindu communities. In the last of September itself, seven civilians were killed in Kashmir, three of them from the Hindu and Sikh communities in targeted assassinations. The end-of-year toll is likely to be statistically similar to the 33 civilians killed last year, or 36 in 2019—and significantly lower than the 86 killed in 2018.
