Woman dies after Indian Army vehicle hits her in Budgam
Srinagar: A woman died after being hit by an Indian Army vehicle in the Budgam district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Army vehicle struck the woman at Main Chowk Chadoora. She sustained severe injuries and was rushed to the Bone and Joint Hospital in Srinagar, where she succumbed to her injuries later in the day.
The victim has been identified as 32-year-old Sobiya Jan, a resident of Srinagar.
Police said they have registered a case. However, the Army driver involved in the incident was not arrested, as Indian forces’ personnel operate with impunity under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
Indian forces have free license to kill, harass, detain and terrorize Kashmiris under draconian laws in IIOJK, which rights groups have long criticized for enabling widespread human rights violations in the territory.
