Local people claimed that military personnel, [[Jammu and Kashmir Police]] and [[Central Reserve Police Force]] carried out a joint operation in the village, on 11 September 2017, which resulted in the security forces who entered the village destroying property, beating people up and arresting local youth under the "Public Safety. Act, 1978," and resorting to tear gassing the inhabitants.<ref name=scroll>{{cite web |url=https://scroll.in/article/842191/map-of-south-kashmir-in-karimabad-three-graves-and-a-surrender |title=Map of South Kashmir: In Karimabad, three graves and a surrender |website=scroll.in |publisher=[[Scroll.in]] |date=5 July 2017}}</ref><br />
