Badamwari incident: Police take cognizance, FIR registered

Srinagar: In a musical event at Badamwari today, where 1000s of people including very large number of women and children were present a group of miscreants created ruckus on the stage a police spokesman said.

He said that the actual cause of ruckus was that one boy among the audience demanded that song of his choice be played, his request was not fulfilled immediately. When he took away the mic, one member of the cultural group slapped that boy. This led to the ruckus on stage.

Police used maximum restraint, any type of shelling or force would have created a stampede like situation at the venue, the spokesman added.

He said that miscreants have been identified and FIR has been registered. Legal action will follow.
