| Police to probe 'internal link' in SI Imtiyaz's killing | | |
Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Oct 31: Even as Jammu and Kashmir Police's sub-inspector Imtiyaz Ahmed Mir was shot dead by militants at Wahibug in the militancy-infested Pulwama district of South Kashmir on October 28, the JKP doesn't rule out hand of some "internal link."
Sources said the police are investigating if it could be "some internal link" that informed militants about his travel to home on the fateful day. Imtiyaz was killed before he would reach home.
A senior official pleading anonymity said the role of some "internal link couldn't be ruled out." "Imtiyaz traveling to his hometown was a secret which only a few, that too in the police force alone knew about, so one cannot rule out if the information was leaked to them(militants)," said the official on the condition of anonymity.
He said the police was not taking any chances but that case was being probed on all possible angles. "This killing is unlike of other terror incidents as in this case the other party was well aware of his travel plan, so the case needs to be taken to its logical conclusion," the official said.
He said what was equally shocking was that only some of policemen knew that Imtiyaz had gone for makeover to avoid being identified while visiting his parents. "He had shaved off his beard only so that nobody recognizes him easily, so how were they (militants) so sure of his travel, route and timing?" all these questions need answers.
Posted in the CID department, Imtiyaz had been warned against venturing into his village as there was a possibility of attack by militant groups, who have been targeting policemen in the area.
As per the insiders, on the fateful morning, Imtiyaz had shaved off his beard and decided to use his personal vehicle to go to his native village.
He had even told some of his colleagues that the militants wouldn't be able to recognise him. "So the main question is that who made him recognizable," said the police official.
Imtiyaz was shifted to the CID department in March this year and his seniors recalled his dedication towards his work.
When the body of Mir was brought to Pulwama district lines by a police team from Wahibugh, it was attacked by stone pelters as security forces had launched a cordon-and-search operations in Chewa and the area where he was shot dead. "Stone pelting on funeral is most unethical thing which people of Kashmir are now mastering," said a police official. |
