He was killed in a “crossfire” on Oct. 25 in south Kashmir
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on November 1 said she was disallowed to meet the family of a civilian, who was killed in a “crossfire” on October 25 in south Kashmir.
“When anyone is being killed by the militants, they (politicians) are being allowed to meet the slain family. It's unfortunate that whenever anyone is being killed in the forces' action, no one is being allowed to meet the bereaved family,” she stated.
The former Chief Minister had desired to meet the family of Anantnag’s Shahid Aijaz, who was killed in a firing incident at Babapora area of Shopian near a CRPF camp. The police said he died in a crossfiring between militants and security personnel. However, his family contested the police version.
