The Shopian agitation committee, formed in the wake of the crime, has also rejected the probe findings, terming it as 'a cover up operation'.

Meanwhile, the Kashmir Bar Association has termed the Justice Jan commission's report as a 'kitchen report'.

In a statement, local bar association president Mian Qayoom said the commission had commented on the character of the relatives of the victims which was not included in the commission's terms of reference.

'It has not identified the culprits,' he said.
