The families of two civilians, who were killed during a gunfight between militants and security forces in Srinagar’s Hyderpora, have disputed the police version. It took place on Monday in a house in which four people, including a Pakistani militant and his local associate, were killed. The dead also included house owner Altaf Ahmad and doctor Mudassir Gul, whom police termed associates of the militants. Gul’s family protested at the press colony in Srinagar on Tuesday, stating he had no involvement in militancy.


“He spoke to his wife last evening. He has two small kids and old parents. He was not holding a gun, he was innocent. He was Dr Mudassir, not a terrorist, please give us the body back,” said one of the protesting relatives. Ahmad’s family alleged that he was used as a human shield by the security forces. “My cousin, who was an eyewitness said he was taken upstairs three times, he was spared on two occasions and killed on the third,” daughter of Ahmad said.
