Case registered a year after Indian Army kills truck driver in Baramulla
Srinagar: More than a year after the killing of Kashmiri truck driver Waseem Ahmad Mir in firing by Indian army in Baramulla, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, India’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)has finally registered a case.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mir, the lone bread-earner of his family from Goripora village, was shot on February 6, 2025, when Indian army soldiers opened fire at his vehicle.
Mir, according to the complaint, was an innocent civilian carrying apple boxes, and medical reports suggest he was shot from close range, contradicting the Indian army’s claim that firing was limited to the truck tyres. The NHRC’s case comes after over a year of inaction, exposing the slow pace of justice and the impunity enjoyed by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir.
The commission has formally acknowledged the complaint, but observers note that such delayed responses reflect the continuing disregard for Kashmiri civilian lives and the mockery of legal recourse in the territory.
