| Mehbooba coerces police into filing FIR in Shopian killings | | | Et Report
Srinagar, Sept 19 : Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti was today assured by the DIG south Kashmir that the shifting of CRPF camp from Gagren would start from Friday morning.
She visited the district head quarter today and told the administration that she would sit on an indefinite dharna in the town till the two demands made by the people are met: the shifting of Gagren camp and registering of FIR in the shooting incident that killed four boys on 7th of September.
The superintendent of police met the PDP president at the government guest house and promised that FIR would be registered by this afternoon, but Mehbooba Mufti insisted that she would not leave the town and would sit on dharna unless the FIR was registered and its receipt handed over to the father of Tawseef one of the victims of CRPF firing.
The family had been pleading for the last twelve days with the police to accept their FIR but the police had avoided to do so. Later Gh Mohammad Bhat father of Tawseef received copy of the FIR from police, Mehbooba met him and his brother Ali Mohammad Bhat and conveyed her condolences to the family.
The PDP president had earlier also attempted to visit Shopian but had been prevented by the administration from proceeding to the besieged town.
Later the DIG South Kashmir Vijay Kumar met the PDP president and discussed with her the shifting of CRPF camp from Gagren which has been a source of trouble for the entire area for several years. There have been numerous complaints of serious human rights violations against the camp ranging from torture, illegal custody and enforced disappearance.
Mehbooba urged the district administration to lift the curfew and restrictions immediately so that the people of the area are able to pick up threads of life again after the tragic incidents that resulted in the death of five youth.
Expressing hope that the killing of youth in shopian on 7th of Sept. and on 10th Sept would not meet the same fate as the rape and murder case of Asiea and Nelofar, Mehbooba said the registration of FIR and shifting of Gagren camp are the result of struggle made by the people of the district who have forced the government into action.
She was accompanied by MLA Syed Basharat Mukhari, MLA Shopian Ab Razaq Zawoora, District President Mohammad Shafi Bandey, party leader Adv Mohd Yousuf, Youth leaders Waheedur Rehman Parra, Yawar Bandey and Zubair Yousuf. |
