‘Our son is innocent, killed in police custody’ says family

Srinagar, September 16, 2020 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the killing of a 23-year-old youth triggered a fresh wave of anger in Sopore and other areas of Baramulla district. The family of the victim, Irfan Ahmed, told media men that their son was dubbed as a militant by Indian police and was killed in custody.

“I along with my brother Irfan was picked up by police for questioning on September 14 and we were kept separately. I was set free but my brother was kept in the police custody,” said Javaid Ahmed, Irfan’s brother. “My brother is innocent and was a shopkeeper by profession,” Javaid said and demanded an impartial probe into the cold-blooded murder of his brother.
