Stating that the family has claimed Mughal was a part-time computer operator with no militancy links, the cleric said past experiences did not inspire confidence.
However, with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha ordering an inquiry, Mirwaiz said, "Let us hope that this time justice gets done and those responsible are held to account and punished." (KNS)
