New Delhi, March 09: The Centre on Friday filed a plea in the Supreme Court to seek quashing of an FIR in which Major Aditya Kumar was named by Jammu and Kashmir Police in civilian killings.
On March 5, the apex court had restrained the police from carrying out any investigation in pursuance to the FIR following the death of three civilians as the Army dispersed a stone-pelting mob in Shopian district.
The apex court direction had come on a plea by Lt Col Karamveer Singh -- a serving officer and father of Major Aditya Kumar -- seeking the quashing of the FIR.
