As per Des Raj Bhagat, Arvind was born after 11 years out of his wedlock and his mother visited at so many shrines and temples and observed fasting before he was born. Elder among two brothers and a sister, Arvind did his masters in computer--- before he joined a private insurance company and established his office at Wasser Kuleed. His father said that on Eid day, Arvind left the house in the morning for his office and after doing some work at office; he left for the house of his sister for shifting her to hospital for delivery of a child.

He said that his son is very cool in nature and never indulge in any wrong doing.

He said that it was only after the intervention of BSP All India President and MP Mayawati, DC Kishtwar and SP Kishtwar contacted him and shows their ignorance about the death of his son. He said that police and administration also used delayed tactics in conducting the postmortem of the dead body of his son and also handed over the dead body next day evening.

He also slams former MoS Home Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo for his failure and inaction leading to the death of his son. He also blames administration and police for their failure in implementing the curfew as a result of which the enemy of peace not only vandalize the public property, but also murder his son. He said that any compensation given by the Government cannot fulfill the loss of his son and the agony and trauma through which the entire family is passing since the day of the death of his son Arvind Kumar. |
