Demand for Judicial Probe After 4 Killed, 54 Injured in Ladakh Firing

A demand has been raised for a judicial enquiry into the police firing during protests in Ladakh on September 24, which left four people dead and over 54 injured. The incident has sparked widespread concern in the region.

While condemning the violence by protesters, leaders also questioned the handling of the situation by the authorities, saying it could have been managed with greater restraint and maturity. They described the firing as an excessive measure that deepened tensions.

Rejecting allegations that certain Congress Councillors were involved in instigating the protest, leaders termed the claims as unfounded and politically motivated. They urged the administration to ensure justice and transparency by ordering a judicial probe into the incident.
