It may be recalled that people were protesting against the alleged killings of two sisters and a police constable at Kalakote recently, demanding CBI inquiry into the matter. They were raising slogans against Rajouri police for protecting guilty, including SHO Kalakote. The protesters tried to block Jammu-Rajouri highway and police resorted to lathi-charge on them to clear the highway.
