Srinagar, May 30, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, Shakeel Ahmad Ahangar, husband of Neelofar and brother of Aasiya of Shopian, has said that he has now completely lost faith in all institutions of India and the territory and demanded a probe by an independent international agency into the Shopian incident. On May 29, 2009, Indian troops abducted Aasiya and Neelofar from their orchard, raped and murdered them before throwing their bodies in a shallow stream.
Shakeel Ahmad Ahangar in a media interview said, “I have nothing new to add to my poignant tale that I have already recounted umpteen times.” The justice delivery system in this part of world stands frozen, he said gesturing towards a banner that carries the images of his sister and wife.
He said, “I have been waiting for justice for last 10 years. We observed a shutdown for nearly two months, held peaceful protests but to no avail.” He added that all investigations taken up by authorities were a smokescreen used to shield the perpetrators. He, however, said that he would never succumb to any pressure. “I am relentless in my pursuit for justice, come what may,” Ahangar said.
