CPI (M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami Friday urged the government to return the body of Amir Ahmad Magray, a resident of Gool in Ramban, the third civilian killed in Hyderpora without any further delay.
Tarigami said that it has been proven beyond any doubt that Magray is a civilian. “His father Abdul Latief Magray is a state bravery award winner and now his son has been killed and falsely labeled as a militant which is highly unfortunate,” he said.
“The least the J&K administration could do is to return the body of Magray so that his family could perform his last rites,” Tarigami said.
“The government must ensure that those involved in the killing of unarmed civilians are brought to book and punished under law,” he added. (KF)
