Amshipora encounter: Families of slain trio question delay in handing over of bodies
Srinagar, Sep 29 : The family members of three labourers who were killed in an encounter at Amshipora Shopian on 18 July, Tuesday questioned the delay in handing over the bodies of the slain trio and demanded authorities to hand over the bodies at earliest.
The families said that “if Army and police as per their investigation have proved that the slain trio was our kins, then why there is an unnecessary delay in handing over their bodies to the families.”
Muhammad Yousuf, father of Abrar Ahmad, who was father of 15-month-old baby said that on Tuesday, they met higher officials again and demanded justice. “If there is only one bone of our kins, we will take it back,” he said, adding that their demands are clear including handing over the bodies without unnecessary delay, compensation and punishment to the persons involved.
“We demand compensation because our sons won’t come back but they have families behind like my son, who has a 15-month-old son and wife. Who will take care of them? He questioned.
He further added that persons whosoever is involved in the killings, must be punished in such a way so that such incidents won’t happen again. (With inputs from KNO)
