Bhat set the record straight while addressing the JKLF-sponsored seminar on "Role of intellectuals in the freedom struggle" on Sunday in Srinagar.
What he said in the presence of almost all the separatist leaders, including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik, reads like this: "No police was involved (in the killings).
