In viral video, Kashmir constable quits

“I have resigned from (Jammu and Kashmir) police department so that my conscience does not keep on asking me questions whether I am right or wrong as a policeman to see the bloodshed here,” says the young man who identifies himself as Rayees in the video. 

“I had no answer, but now I have come up with a resolution of this issue, my own issue, and I have decided that I will resign from my job and I am sharing with you through this video that I have resigned,” he adds. 

Rayees says he was working in the department for the last seven years as a constable and had vowed to serve the people. “Every day, Kashmiris are getting killed, some are losing their eyes, some are in jails and some under house arrest. This entire problem is because a Kashmiri is seeking his right which is the plebiscite,” he remarks. 

“It is not in my hands to resolve this issue, but there is another issue for which I have shared this video. I watch this bloodshed as a policeman and my conscience keeps questioning me.” The police department is verifying the video and the claims.
