Srinagar: Carrying
the body of a youth who was allegedly killed in firing by security
forces, thousands of people walked in protest in Jammu and
Kashmir's Bandipora area Wednesday.
Shouting anti-government and pro-Islamic slogans, about 4,000
protestors carrying the body of a local village youth identified
as Hilal Ahmad Dar, 19, marched from Aloosa village, 45 km from
here, towards Bandipora town.
According to villagers and the youth's family, Hilal had left the
village mosque after the Ramzan 'Tarawi' evening prayers Tuesday
when he was shot by security forces. He worked for a cement
factory in Srinagar city.
"He was working in a cement factory in Srinagar and had come home
six days back. He was not involved in militancy at all," Hilal's
father Ghulam Mohiuddin Dar said.
Army officials said there was an exchange of gunfire in the area
Wednesday. While one guerrilla escaped, another was killed.

Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
