Poonch Custodial Deaths: Gujjar Leaders Outraged as Tribunal Clears Brigadier

Gujjar leaders expressed anger after the Armed Forces Tribunal cleared Brigadier Padmasambhava Acharya regarding the December 2023 custodial deaths in Poonch. Shahnawaz Choudhary described the decision as a "complete betrayal of the community." The tribunal removed the censure from the officer’s record, which many feel undermines accountability for the lost lives.
