BSF Special Director General Dilip Trivedi today conducted preliminary inquiry into the Ramban firing incident in which four persons were killed.

Trivedi took ground reports after meeting civilian, police and BSF officials to ascertain the circumstances leading to the firing by Border Security Force personnel on July 18.

The BSF Special DG visited the 76 Battalion belt area in Ramban and took statements of the BSF patrol party which had intercepted Mohammed Latif, who had instigated the mob that attacked a BSF camp, BSF officials said.

Latif was instrumental in instigating the mob leading to the situation where four people were killed and 44 others, including security personnel, were injured in stone pelting and resultant firing, they said.

Members of the patrol party provided pictorial evidence to the BSF chief in connection with the attack on the BSF camp by the mob.
