Human shield incident in Kashmir: Army still to conclude inquiry

The Army still to conclude an inquiry into the incident in which a youth was tied to a jeep's bonnet so as to shield against stone pelters in Kashmir, said army sources.

The Court of Inquiry (CoI) into the controversial "human shield" incident in Kashmir is still carrying on, army sources said.

The sources denied reports that the CoI had given a clean chit to the major and said a final conclusion was still to be reached.

On April 9, a video, showing the man tied to an army vehicle during polling in the Srinagar Lok Sabha by-election, caused a public outcry, prompting the Army to institute a probe.
