On the 5th March, I along with local police posted at Trehgam visited the spot and there was a hue and cry in the whole village. I recorded the statements of the villagers including some ladies on whom the above mentioned atrocities have been committed. I was shown the rooms which were used by the Armed forces for gang-raping and was shown the clothes which were torn by the Army. It was found that Armed forces had turned violent and behaved like violent beasts. The villagers produced empty bottles of wine, which I handed over to the local police and I was told that the atrocities were committed after consuming the wine. I found that the villagers were harassed to the extreme possible extent. In the morning after 9 A.M when the army left the village, the men folk were released and when they entered their houses they were shocked to see that the Army Forces have gang rapped their daughters, wives, sisters etc. The Army Forces had forcibly taken No objection Certificate from the locals as well as local police after doing the illegal action. Shri Juma Shiekh S/o Khazir Shiekh village guard had shown them his identity card and in spite of it he was beaten and locked in aroom and his daughter and daughter-in-law were gang raped. One of the girls XXXXX gang-raped had given birth only 4 days earlier to a baby and in-spite of that she was gang raped. I feel ashamed to put in black and white what kind of atrocities and their magnitude was brought to my notice on the spot. The news has started to spread in the whole district and I apprehend it may have adverse effect on the Administration. I suggest that a team of officers be deputed to the concerned village to conduct enquiry on spot and immediate steps be taken to punish the culprits. Moreover, measures be taken to prevent any more such unfortunate incident in the district. Yours faithfully, Sd/ (S.M.Yasin) District Magistrate
