Srinagar, Nov 17 (KNS): The family of Gowhar Nazir Dar, who was killed last week in Zainkoot in Srinagar outskirts, has questioned the government for asking them to record their statements in District Commissioner’s Office here.
Habibullah Gulshan Dar, paternal uncle of Gowhar, told KNS that Additional Deputy Commissioner Srinagar M.A. Baba called them to come to his office in Srinagar and record their statements about the incidents that led to killing of Gohwar.
