Toy guns, covert cops: Jammu and Kashmir Police plants its men among stone pelters to catch real culprits in action

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Police Friday adopted a fresh strategy of nabbing stone pelters by planting its men among them at historic Jama Masjid downtown to arrest the real culprits in action. After the Friday prayers, a mob started pelting stones at police and CRPF personnel but there was no retaliation this time and not even a single teargas shell was lobbed or baton charge initiated by the law enforcing force. [caption id=“attachment_5141321” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]A policeman dressed in civilian clothes arrests a stone pelter. PTI A policeman dressed in civilian clothes arrests a stone pelter. PTI[/caption] As the crowd swelled to over 100 people and two chronic stone pelters started leading the agitation, the first tear gas shell was lobbed at the mob dispersing them. However, to the surprise of the two stone pelters, who were leading the mob, they were grabbed by policemen, covertly placed in the crowd, and whisked away in waiting vehicles. The policemen, who disguised as stone pelters, brandished toy guns to scare others while the duo were taken to the police station. Perplexed by the development, the stone pelters ended the protest early today as they were caught unaware of the police strategy. This strategy was earlier executed in 2010 when scores of policemen were deployed in the mob to identify and arrested stone pelters in the area.
