A London-based law firm filed an application with British police Tuesday seeking the arrest of India’s Army Chief and Home Minister over their alleged roles in war crimes in Kashmir, AP reported.
Law firm Stoke White said it submitted extensive evidence to the Metropolitan Police’s War Crimes Unit documenting how Indian forces headed by Gen. Manoj Mukund Naravane and Home Mnister Amit Shah were responsible for the torture, kidnapping and killing of activists, journalists and civilians.
The law firm further claimed that they took over 2,000 testimonies from Kashmiris between 2020 and 2021. It also accused eight unnamed senior Indian military officials of direct involvement in war crimes and torture in Kashmir.
However, India’s Foreign Ministry said it was not aware of the report and refused to comment. The Home Ministry also did not comment.
