Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference working president Omar Abdullah Monday criticised the granting of bail to an Army captain convicted by a general court-martial for his role in the 2020 Amshipora fake encounter case.

Appealing to the Centre not to play with the people in the erstwhile stae, Omar said: “Do not make the people here think that our blood is so cheap that a person found guilty of murder is enlarged on bail so easily.”
