Police Statement On “Cops Didn’t Allow Me To Take Father’s Body To Srinagar Due To Amarnath Traffic”

Jammu: Police in a statement said the ambulance was stopped as it tried to join the convoy.

The fact is that at Tikri at about 0557 hours Thursday one UP number ambulance was trying to join the convoy which was not allowed by the convoy commander.

“The person in ambulance claimed that the vehicle is carrying dead body of his father but the officer could not verify the facts in the moving convoy and thus the vehicle followed the convoy and was not allowed to overtake it,” a police spokesman said.

He said once the convoy stopped and the officer ascertained the facts the ambulance was allowed to proceed ahead.
