released person may or may not recover is a question of luck. The government
played a master card in order to avoid humiliation at the hands of world
community, when they declared M.Ayub. Badyari as militant and the poor ,
innocent person is still in custody. The two ladies cancelled their tour and left the
valley next day. Now they are in their own country and truth can be ascertained
form them.
At Batakote, Handwara of district Kupwara, the forces had been attacked at
Achkote about two kilometers away from the place of incident. The forces had
suffered some causality; the forces in order to take revenge, entered the area, and
dragged out the locals out of their houses. When the innocent old aged people
wanted to inquire about the behavior, the forces fired on the young people. The
brutal forces entered into a house and killed three women who tried to intervene
after their kiths and kins were shot at by the forces. The forces molested and raped
four ladies. When the people came to know about the incident, a number of human
right activists and journalists reached the spot and in this connection a case was
already registered in the concerned Police station. The lady victims were referred
to a doctor for examination in order to ascertain the presence of semen and marks
of violence on the victims. The case is under investigation and the local Police in
almost in all the cases which have been registered against the forces, have not
proceeded under law because of the helplessness better known to the them.
On the intervening night of 10/11-10-92, the forces entered into the village of
Cheek-E-Saidpora, Shopian in district Pulwama, under the pretext of search
operations and asked all the male members to assemble at a particular place for
identification purposes. The forces in absence of the male members forcibly raped
an 11 years minor girl and five other ladies. On hue and cry of the ladies, the forces
were compelled to lift the cordon and the people after entering the homes were
narrated the tailful story by the female folk. When the news came known to the
public, some of the human right activists went to the spot and were first stopped by
the forces but later they entered the village. The victims were taken to hospital for
medical check-ups; a lady doctor Safia after medical examination gave a statement
that there were positive signs of rape and on the minor girl marks of violence were
also seen. This examination was done in presence of Dr. Bashir Ahmad and Dr.
A.N.Butt. One lady had given birth of child just some months back. One Doctor
namely Dulat Hussain has been arrested by the forces and his whereabouts are not
yet known. His mother has complained that he has not returned home after the
arrest and all doctors have a reasonable belief that the government is deliberately
causing harassment to the doctors to stop them giving honest opinion.
On 24-12-92, one shepherd lady was raped by the Indian Armed Forces (BSF) and
after registering a complaint in the concerned Police station at Uri of District
Baramulla, some jawans of BSF reportedly kidnapped including her kids and
husband. The forces have been continuously harassing the people during
crackdowns in case somebody complains against them before the authorities.
