Mehbooba Writes To LG Over Hokersar ‘Encounter’: Return Bodies Of 3 Youth To Families, Initiate Imperial Investigation

Srinagar, Jan 1  Chief Minister of the erstwhile PDP-BJP government, Mehbooba Mufti, on Friday wrote a letter to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, urging him to intervene in ensuring bodies are returned to the families of three youth killed at Hokersar in outskirts of Srinagar earlier this week. While police and army said that the trio was militants, the families contest it, saying they were innocents.
In the letter, shared on social media, Mehbooba Mufti, who is the president of the PDP, has also sought an impartial investigation into the matter immediately.
“I am sure you are aware of the unfortunate incident at Parimpora (Hokersar) on 30th December. Three boys, the youngest being all of 17 years old were killed in what the family has alleged to be a staged gunfight,” reads the letter by Mehbooba.
“This incident has come close on the heels of an enquiry report that held an Army captain guilty & responsible for a fake encounter at Amshipora in Shopian. Again the three victims now established as innocent through an investigation were killed & later dubbed as militants,” she says, adding, “You and I may not agree on most political matters that concern J&K but I am certain we agree that such incidents bring disrepute to the armed forces & are a grave violation of human rights.”
Mehbooba said that she was “aware that the administration is apprehensive about returning their dead bodies to the families but this callous decision will only exacerbate their sense of loss & pain.”
“One hopes that you will rethink this decision & allow them to get closure. A mother who grieves the sudden & tragic death of her beloved son shouldn’t be deprived of the last chance to see his face,” says Mehbooba, adding, “Nor does she deserve to beg for his dead body. This is simply inhuman & unacceptable.”
Urging him to intervene and ensure that these families get a chance to perform the last rites as per their wishes, Mehbooba said that questions are also looming over the encounter and there are “conflicting versions & reports from police & the army.”
“Justice can be served only if its swift & therefore I request you to initiate an impartial investigation into the matter immediately,” she added.
