The BJP on Wednesday contested the police claim that the law enforcing agency was not approached for the security of Javaid Ahmad Dar, who was shot dead by militants in Kulgam district.

Shortly after Dar’s killing on Tuesday, police had said they were not approached for his security. “The statement is baseless and is based on malice designed,” BJP’s Kulgam president Abid Hussain Khan stated.

Khan claimed he had met the Kulgam Deputy Commissioner on August 10 and made a representation for security of 30 party workers in the district. — PTI
