Activists accuse J&K cops of racial profiling

The J&K police conducting door-to-door surveys to monitor presence of migrants have come in for criticism from human rights activists who have accused them of political and racial profiling. Law minister Ali M Sagar first said he wasn’t aware of any such exercise.
He later added, “However, I am now told by the police that they are collecting details of elements involved in crime.” The police have collected data especially from conflict prone towns like Maharaj Gunj, Saraf Kadal, Bohri Kadal, Khanyar, Jamia Masjid and Rajouri Kadal.However, DIG, central Kashmir, Abdul Gani Mir maintained that the survey was “routine”.
