The communist paety of India (Marxist) leader, Yusuf Tarigami has said that the indictment of unnamed soldiers for killing three labourers from Rajouri on July 18th, in South Kashmir’s Shopian district ropes the confirmation of a fake encounter.
In a press release issued to The Kashmiriyat, Mr. Tarigami said that the Court of Inquiry (CoI) by the Army is encouraging and must ensure the justice does not get delayed under any pretext. The trio from Rajouri, who had come to Shopian to find some labour work were murdered in the name of encounter.
He said that the DNA sampling report should be confirmed at the earliest so that the probe is taken to its logical conclusion.
The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) through its general secretary Om Prakash Sharma had already moved an application before the National Human Rights Commission, seeking a probe into the Shopian fake encounter, which is under active consideration of the Commission.
We urge the authorities to not only ensure that guilty in Shopian fake encounter cases are punished, but those who have not been punished so far in previous such cases are dealt according to law.
There is a need to do transparent enquiries and the status reports of already announced enquiries should be made public.
The government should also punish those involved in the killing of Batmaloo woman and custodial killing in Sopore.
The press release further read that Fake encounters and custodial killings are heinous criminal acts that have nothing to do with the larger operational purpose of security forces anywhere. Anybody breaking the law must be brought to the book.

Yusuf Tarigami said that the narrative was created that if any action is taken against black-sheep and law-breakers within security forces, who commit such crimes, they will get demoralized. This is bizarre. A person even in uniform committing crime must be punished.
Punishing” the guilty will only demoralize black-sheep who break the law and it will help in restoring confidence among the large sections of the population,”he said.
