Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani on Tuesday rejected police version into the killing of Mushtaq Ahmad Chopan, a Hizb militant, inside police station Tral.
“The police version is unacceptable,” the octogenarian leader said and termed it one “more concocted story”.
“The photographs and circumstance suggest that it is deliberate murder and story cooked by police is unbelievable,” he said in a statement issued here.
“How it is possible that the slain youth had made a plan to escape from police custody and a veil was provided by somebody to facilitate his escape. Blaming militants for grenade attack is nothing new,” said Geelani, adding, “These stories are now outdated.”
He said there was no evidences that he had a Burqa with him as the pictures suggest that he was wearing a traditional Kashmiri Phiran.
Terming it as “custodial killing”, Geelani demanded impartial investigation into it by International War Tribunal.
