Srinagar: Political parties and civil society activists across Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have strongly condemned the killing of a 21-year-old youth, Mohammad Parvez, by Indian police in Jammu and have unanimously called for a time-bound, impartial investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Parvez was shot dead by Indian police in a fake encounter in the Sure Chak locality. In a bid to cover up the brutal killing, occupation authorities claimed that Pervez was caught in crossfire during a chase of suspected persons. However, his family and locals have rejected the official version. They expressed their anger by staging a protest, calling the incident a cold-blooded extrajudicial killing and demanding justice.<\/p>\n

IIOJK Chief Minister Omar Abdullah termed the killing of Parvez \u201chighly unfortunate and deeply regrettable.\u201d In a post on X, he said, \u201cUse of force by the police has to be calibrated and cannot be indiscriminate. This incident should be investigated in a transparent and time-bound manner.\u201d National Conference MP Mian Altaf Ahmad termed the incident a \u201cbroad daylight murder\u201d and demanded swift action against the police personnel involved.<\/p>\n

Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti termed the killing \u201cshocking\u201d and questioned the police narrative. She stressed \u201cjustice must be served through due legal process, not extrajudicial means\u201d. She called for an an impartial probe, warning that \u201ca culture of extrajudicial encounters only alienates people further.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peoples Conference also condemned the killing, calling it a deeply disturbing violation of constitutional principles. \u201cExtrajudicial actions not only violate democratic values but also erode public trust in law enforcement,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

Talib Hussain, a tribal activist, said Parvez had no criminal record. \u201cThis is a fake encounter. He was intercepted at a checkpoint and shot without any reason.\u201d \u201cFrom the past few months, police have targeted Gujjars in the name of cattle or drug smuggling. We stayed quiet but not anymore. This should be challenged,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
