The incident took place when private vehicles, carrying soldiers in civil dress, were returning from the Baltal base camp of the Amarnath yatra , past 2am and were signalled to stop at the Sonamarg checkpost. "Due to the already issued cut-off timing and present circumstances, it was not feasible to allow yatris after the cut-off time", said the police. Police said the armymen insisted on moving forward, and stormed the police station and beat up personnel when thwarted again.
