Those who lure boys into militancy are real culprits: DGP

SRINAGAR: According to Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain, the young boys are the victims and the true offenders are those who entice them to become militants. On the fringes of the Public Darbar in Baramulla, Swain said reporters that they wanted young people to protect themselves from drugs and militancy. "The Imams of the Masjids and the Civil Society are accountable. We consider those who support terrorism as our victims; the true offenders are those who provide them money, arms, and deceive them," he declared.According to the DGP, he has repeatedly stated that the small child who picked up the rifle without having any facial hair is a victim. "The one who gives this young lad the pistol and the money is the one who is really at fault. "We intend to pursue those who deceive these impressionable minds," he continued. According to Swain, the Police are coming up with a novel plan to eradicate this epidemic. "As you can see, we have a plan in place to make sure that no young person in J&K joins the terrorist organisation. To ensure the plan's success, we are in contact with Masjid leaders, educators, parents, and members of civic society," the DGP stated.He described the phenomenon of narco-terrorism as a significant concern, noting that while therapy for victims was formerly thought to be necessary, it has recently become apparent that addicts also act as peddlers. "Our goal is to apprehend the large fish that feed drugs to drug addicts. Regarding the desire for more drug treatment facilities, the DGP stated, "We will meet with the Chief Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Medical Education to present our proposal for the establishment of additional drug treatment facilities. Regarding the public darbars, he noted that people's concerns vary widely, including land disputes, police investigation delays, and questions about previous inquiries, even among those connected to the police family. "I'm taking care of Police Headquarters-related issues right away. It takes some time to handle cases involving ongoing investigations, he said. In response to a question concerning how frequently public darbars should occur and how many cops should participate, the DGP stated that many officers are progressively becoming public darbars in order to resolve concerns pertaining to individuals. "I agree that the frequency of public darbars need to be increased," he stated.
