Srinagar, Oct 08 (KNS): While strongly condemning the killing of a civilian at a check post in Monghal area of Anantnag last night, CPI(M) Secretary Ghulam Nabi Malik has asked the authorities to probe the incident thoroughly to fix the responsibility.

"The circumstances in which the civilian was shot dead by security forces needs to be probed. Losing precious human lives is most unfortunate and mere condemnation of such incidents isn’t enough," Malik said in a statement issued to KNS. 

Expressing solidarity with the bereaved family, he demanded compensation to the victim's family. (KNS)
