RR unit involved in J&K 'custody deaths' shifted out

The Army is shifting out the Rashtriya Rifles (RR) battalion involved in the alleged custodial torture and death of three civilians in J&K's Poonch last month, while three parallel inquiries are underway into the entire episode that has rocked the 12-lakh strong force. The 48 RR unit is being replaced by another RR battalion following the incident, which has led to a major uproar in the region, as well as setbacks in counter-terrorism operations & continuing command and control issues, sources told TOI on Friday.
