BJP MLA Shagun Parihar has alleged that the bodies of two Special Police Officers, Rashpal Singh and Bobby Chand, who were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, were taken to their native village in a dumper truck without coffins.
The Kishtwar MLA said the way the bodies were transported was an insult to the officers, who were killed in the line of duty.

Parihar and Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma attended the officers’ last rites in Keyar village in the Dachhan area on Friday and laid wreaths.
A video circulating on social media shows Parihar breaking down as she criticises senior police officials over the handling of the bodies.
The officers went missing on Wednesday afternoon after gunfire was reported in the Deharna forest area of Marwah.
Search teams found their bodies in the Dachhan forest on Thursday morning, about two kilometres from where they went missing, sources said.
Both officers had been shot multiple times, and their service weapons were missing, the sources said. Preliminary information indicated they were part of the Special Operations Group and were on their way to relieve an Army team at Basnan.
Security forces launched a search for those responsible. Authorities were looking into a possible terror link.
