Youth's killing: Court directs FIR against police officer in 24-hours 7/28/2016 10:52:02 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, July 28: A local court today directed the police to register within 24 hours a case against a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) for allegedly killing a 26-year-old youth in Tengpora, Srinagar, on July 10. The victim, Shabir Ahmad Mir, had dropped out of school after Class IX to help his parents, and worked as a mason to support the family. "The SSP Srinagar is directed to lodge the FIR and comply with the directions from this court dated 18-7-2016 and file the copy of FIR within 24 hours," said the court-Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Srinagar, Masarat Shaheen. Otherwise, the court directed SSP Srinagar to cause his personal appearance before the court to show cause as to why action shall not be taken against him. According to victim's father, Abdul Rehman Mir, a police team led by the DSP Yasir Qadri barged into their home and killed Shabir at around 6:35 pm on July 10. "When family members were watching television, a police party headed by DSP Qadri barged into the house and started smashing window panes and doors. The wife of the applicant tried to stop the said police officer, but he physically assaulted her. The son could not tolerate the thrashing of his mother and tried to rescue her from the clutches of the police officer. The police officer took out his pistol and fired two shots at him, resulting in his on-the-spot death," reads the application filed by Mir. He said that the Station House Officer concerned refused to file a case into his son's killing. The incident had triggered protests in and around Tengpora, a suburb area in Srinagar.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
