Srinagar: Stating that they have knowledge to segregate the chaff from grain, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Vijay Kumar on Sunday said that honest and innocent people do not have to worry a bit about the implementation of law regarding action against house owners in whose militants come to hide at gunpoint.
“Honest and innocent citizens don’t have to worry a bit about the implementation of law regarding action against house owners in whose house terrorists come to hide at gun point. Law already provides protection to such persons and police will go by law,” he said on Sunday evening.
“Police is also aware that agents of terrorists and separatist leaders from time to time cleverly push terrorists into innocent citizens’ houses to damage them. @JmuKmrPolice has the skill and knowledge to segregate the chaff from grains. But law will not spare the rest,” IGP added.
J&K Police tweeted the above a day after issuing a clarification that the properties of people who “wilfully” harbour militants will be attached.
