Srinagar: The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed Deputy Commissioner and Senior Superintendent of Police Shopian to submit reply to a petition regarding a woman who was killed in post gunfight clashes by armed forces.
Issuing the notice, member SHRC Dilshada Shaheen asked deputy commissioner and SSP to submit the report by on or before February 14.
The complainant has sought an independent probe “preferably through SHRC’s own investigation agency” to bring to justice those responsible for the killing of “unarmed woman” Rubeena Jan wife of Manzoor Ahmad Mir of Batmuran Shopian.

“A constitutional obligation is cast upon this Commission to constitute a thorough probe preferably through its own agency so that those responsible for the killing of the innocent civilian lady are brought to justice. The magistrate under whose orders the firing was ordered also need to be booked under law and ordered to be probed for the cold blooded murder of the deceased,” the complainant said.
