Youth’s death sparks protest in Baramulla
ALTAF BABA
 
Baramulla, Dec 7: Normal life in north Kashmir’s Baramulla town came to a sudden halt Tuesday afternoon after announcements were made through loud speakers about the death of a local youth, Zahoor Ahmad Dar son of late Abdul Razak Dar of Islamia Park Old Town. The family of the youth said that Zahoor was injured in October when police caught hold of him at cement bridge during a shutdown in the town.

“He was severely thrashed by the cops. He was twice operated upon in SKIMS and finally he succumbed today,” said Irfan Ahmad, a relative of the youth.

As soon as Zahoor’s body was brought to the town, several youth gathered in main chowk and protested against his death. The angry youths pelted stones at vehicles and enforced a shutdown in the area.

Amid pro-freedom slogans, the body was later laid to rest in the martyrs’ graveyard.
However, police denied that the youth was injured in police action and claimed that there was no record of his injury.

The SKIMS authorities said that the youth was admitted in the hospital on December 3 for Meningitis and was operated upon for that.

“His family members did not mention in their record that the youth was injured during stone pelting,” said an official of SKIMS on duty.

Baramulla police dispatched a team to the SKIMS to know weather the youth died of some injury.

Meanwhile, youth resorted to stone pelting on police vehicle in Samboora, Pulwama. Later in the evening police thrashed two students who were returning from their exams. The students were identified as Mudasir Ahmad and Adil Dar.
