Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 13: The National Investigation Agency or NIA is likely to probe the recent gruesome killing of Kashmir Pandit, Rahul Bhat who was killed inside his office by terrorists.
Sources said New Delhi has taken a serious note of the killing of this yet another Kashmir Pandit in Kashmir, taking the toll of target killings of this community members to 15, since the abrogation of the so called special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019. The lapse of the part of Jammu and Kashmir administration is not being ruled out.
Sources said the Modi government has taken a serious note that the young government employee was killed that too inside his government office. Security analyst said it was for the first time that a Kashmir Pandit has been killed inside a government office in the last over three decades of Pakistan sponsored terror in the region.
What has added to the likelihood for the NIA probe is the demand of high-level probe by the bereaved family including Rahul’s father and his wife.
The bereaved family suspect role of someone from within the Chadoora office where he was shot dead in the terror incident.
Rahul’s father Bitta Bhat said that terrorists entered the office and asked who Rahul Bhat is and then they shot him while sparing others.
What is even shocking is that Rahul, as per the family, already feared threat to life for working at tehsil office Chadora and thus wanted be transferred to a “safer place.”
Rahul Bhat, posted in the Tehsil office in Chadoora under a special employment package for Kashmiri Pandit migrants, was working in his office when two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists entered a crowded government building in Budgam district in central Kashmir and shot him dead.
Rahul Bhat lived in a migrant colony at Sheikhpura in same Budgam district and had worked for around eight years. He is survived by wife, five-year-old daughter and parents.
The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha has said that Rahul’s widow will be given a government job in Jammu while the government will also take care of other bereaved family members as well.
While the State Investigation Agency has already ordered a probe, the NIA probe is even likely. |
