Fake killings: Another
body exhumed
Srinagar, February 2 As the SIT headed by Deputy Inspector General of Police Farooq
Ahmad reached Saloora village in Ganderbal area, 27 km from here, hundreds of people tried to break the security cordon around the graveyard, official sources said. The team had gone to Saloora to exhume the body believed to be that of Nazir Ahmad Deki, a resident of the Kokernag area in Anantnag district, who has been missing since February last year and suspected to be killed in a fake encounter. The sources said as the police tried to prevent them from moving into the graveyard, the agitated mob pelted them with stones. The police retaliated by carrying out baton charge and later resorting to firing tear smoke shells. However, the crowd refused to give in and continued to shout slogans against those police personnel who have allegedly killed innocent civilians, the sources said. The police had to fire few rounds in air to disperse the crowd.
