Who are the thousands of people discovered in mass graves in Indian Kashmir?

Jill McGivering investigates the discovery of thousands of bodies in mass graves in Indian Kashmir. Are they Pakistani militants - or innocent victims of the Indian military?

Jill McGivering, the BBC World Service South Asia editor, investigates the discovery of thousands of bodies in mass graves in Indian Kashmir. Human rights groups suspect they are just some of the victims of "disappearances" at the hands of the Indian military in this contested region. The authorities respond that the bodies are in fact those of militants who have infiltrated from Pakistan. Will an official investigation reveal the truth?
