srinagar, Oct 2 :Amid Opposition PDP's demand for his resignation over the death of a National Conference worker allegedly in the police custody, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah refused to comment on the matter saying a judicial probe had been ordered into it.
"No, I won't be commenting or tweeting about a matter that has been referred to a judicial inquiry regardless of the sensationalism," Omar wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Syed Mohammad Yousuf, an NC worker from south Kashmir's Anantnag district, died allegedly in the police custody after two fellow party workers had accused him of taking Rs 1.18 crore from them for getting them berths in the Legislative Council.
According to the government version, the accused was summoned to the camp office of the chief minister where he was confronted with the allegation about taking money.
Yousuf had admitted to taking money after which he was handed over to IGP Crime Branch for further investigations.
He, however, complained of nauseating feeling while on way to the Crime Branch office. He was taken to a hospital where he died of cardiac arrest, the government version said.
The state government had ordered an inquiry by a high court judge into the circumstances leading to Yousuf's death.
The PDP has demanded resignation of Omar, his Minister of State for Home Nasir Aslam Wani and Union Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah pending a judicial probe into the NC's worker death. Yousuf's family has demanded a CBI probe into his death |
