Mora Katha-Kotdhara (Rajouri), July 24
A day after the SHRC indicted the 18 Dogra Regiment of the Army for killing three civilians in its custody, family members of the victims today hoped that the state government would act fast on the judgment.

The State Human Rights Commission directed the police to register a murder case against the accused Army personnel.
Even if the government fails to comply, family members of the victims said they were ready to take their fight to a logical conclusion in the court of law.
In his report to the Commission, the senior superintendent of police, Rajouri, had said the three civilians were lifted and killed by the troops of the 18 Dogra Regiment and were buried at Peer Badaser near Kacha Post.
He solicited registration of a criminal case under section 364 and 302 of the RPC against the concerned Army officials besides recommending an ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the relatives of the deceased persons.
