Trio killed in Srinagar Military Op were involved in militancy, will convince families with concrete evidence in 10 days: IGP Kashmir

Posted on

Srinagar: Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir range, Vijay Kumar on Monday said that trio killed in Lawaypora Srinagar were ‘involved in militancy and were providing logistic support to militants’ and police will soon convince their parents with “concrete evidence.”

He said that the bodies of slain aren’t being handed over to families in view of the COVID pandemic as people would assemble in funerals and break the COVID protocol.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a road safety week function in Srinagar, the IGP Kumar said: “We have collected 60 per cent evidence and in next days, we will collect more evidence including the technical one and will first convince the parents of the slain trio that their sons were involved in militancy and were providing logistic support to militants.”

IGP Kumar while replying to a query that father of one of the youths killed in Lawaypora has demanded the body of his son, said that because of the COVID pandemic, bodies of the slain trio aren’t being handed over to their families.

“If we hand over the bodies, people will assemble for funeral and break the COVID protocol, which would endanger the lives of people. The bodies of slain are being buried in the presence of their family members.”

He said that of late youth are being lured into militancy as OGWs as they are being provided with pistols and grenades. “Yesterday, we arrested a youth from Anantnag, along with a pistol and grenade who was tasked to kill someone. We are at it and will counter the trend through human tracking and this is our top priority,” he said.

About arrangements for January 26, the IGP said that militants would try to disrupt the function but police will ensure all such attempts are foiled.

About recent development regarding fake call centres, he said there will be a separate presser for the same. (KNO)
