Srinagar, Nov 16 (KNS): Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Front (J&KPDF) and former Minister Hakeem Mohammed Yaseen on Tuesday urged LG Manoj Sinha led administration to probe into the killing of two civilians killed in Hyderpora encounter.

In a statement issued to KNS, Hakeem said it is unfortunate that such incidents occur in the Valley and stated that how many times Kashmiri people would count the dead bodies of their dear ones.

He demanded a probe by a sitting High Court judge in Hyderpora encounter. “There should be an impartial investigation into the killings of slain civilians and as both, the families have rejected the claims of Police,” the senior leader said.

Hakeem urged LG Manoj Sinha to probe the killings and there should be an independent inquiry into this case,” he said.

The senior leader said such incidents have been repeatedly reported in Kashmir. Security agencies should also cooperate with the investigation and so that it will clear their image in the public sphere, he said.

Hakeem said there should be an "independent and impartial" investigation into the killing of two civilians in Hyderpora and those responsible for it should be brought to justice.

"Safety of the civilian population should be of paramount importance and as every human life is important and precious,” he added. (KNS)
