When the locals went to file an FIR against the Pakistani Army to the police, the police in PoK said they have no authority to file an FIR against the Army.
In the latest protests, the locals are accusing the Pakistani Army of kidnapping and torturing them. They have accused that the Pakistani Army is forcing the youth from the valley to cross over to Indian territory and spy for them by offering Rs. 500 to Rs. 3,000 for the same.
The villagers also blame the Pakistani Army for forcefully grabbing their land despite showing proof of registration of the property. People living in the border areas of the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir have been facing tough existence as the Pakistani Army continues to exploit them.
