J-K CPI(M) demands stern action for 'wrongly arresting' youths

"Such faulty investigations not only have a telling impact on the security of innocent people but create a mockery of policing in the country," party's state secretary M Y Tarigami said.

The court had yesterday converted Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front terrorist Mohd Naushad's death penalty to life term, while acquitting Mirza Nissar Hussain and Mohd Ali Bhat alias Kille, who had been given the capital punishment by a trial court.

Tarigami claimed that many Kashmiri youth are being wrongly arrested and charged in cases related to terror attacks and asked the Centre to ensure some accountability measures to curb such arrests.

He also called for time bound procedure for the judicial processes and fast track courts in such cases.
