Srinagar, Nov 19: CPI (M) leader Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami Friday urged the government to return the body of Amir Ahmad Magray of Gool in Ramban, the third civilian killed in Hyderpora without any delay.
A statement of CPI (M) issued here quoted Tarigami as saying that it had been proven beyond any doubt that Magray was a civilian.
“His father Abdul Latief Magray won the State Bravery Award and now his son has been killed and falsely labeled as a militant, which is highly unfortunate,” Tarigami said.
He said that the least the J&K administration could do was to return the body of Magray so that his family could perform his last rites.
“The government must ensure that those involved in the killing of unarmed civilians are brought to book and punished under the law,” Tarigami said.
