Just in: A senior Kashmir police officer DSP Quadri will not be arrested for the death of a protester, rules Supreme Court cancelling complaint against him. The court also orders a probe into the killing of protester Shabbir Ahmed Mir.


This comes in the wake of a Srinagar court asking the city police to lodge an FIR and probe the death of Shabir Ahmad on July 10.  The police did not investigate the charges and booked Ahmad under charges of armed rioting and attempt to murder, among others. The police also refused to file an FIR against deputy superintendent of police, Yasir Qadri, who Ahmad's family says shot him dead in the lawns of their house in Srinagar.
