Probe demanded into fake encounter killings in Kupwara

ISLAMABAD, (APP): A delegation led by human rights defender,
Muhammad Ahsan Untoo, visited Kupwara to offer prayers for the five youth, who were martyred by Indian troops in a fake encounter at Drugmulla in Kupwara on Saturday.
The team demanded an impartial probe into the killing of the youth.
Hurriyet leaders, Shabbir Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Iqbal Mir, Imtiyaz Ahmad
Reshi and Gulzar Ahmad in their statement in Srinagar paid rich tributes to the martyred youth, KMS reported.
Meanwhile, the locals who buried the martyred youth told mediamen that
there was no such evidence which could prove the Indian army’s claim that the youth were killed during an encounter.
“It seems by seeing their faces they were killed a week ago and
brought at Drugmulla in Kupwara to show that they were killed in an encounter,” they said in unison.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Political
Movement, Muhammad Shafi Reshi, addressing a party meeting in Srinagar said that dawn of freedom was drawing closer due to sacrifices of the Kashmiri youth.
He said that the entire South Asia was at powder keg because of
unresolved Kashmir dispute.
