The army issued a Statement on Wednesday explaining at Wallerhama village in Pahalgam.

“A mob which gathered the army patrolling party which was passing through the areas near Walarom (Pahalgam) and blocked the road. The party commander requested the mob to give way. Then some instigators baselessly alleged that a Braid-chopper had mounted the Army vehicle and started closing in on the Army column. The party commander at this point warned the crowd and fired a few rounds in air to disperse the crowd.”

“In the meantime, Company Commander’s Party also arrived at the venue and made repeated appeals to the mob to keep away and let the army patrol party to proceed. The mob started heavy stone-pelting on Army vehicle and started moving precariously close to the troops.”

“After Company Commander gave a final warning, the troops first fired in air, but when the crowd didn’t relent and continued to throw stones causing injury to troops, the company commander was left with no option but to open fire at them in self defence exercising utmost restraint to minimize casualty.”
