Srinagar, March 24 (KMS): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, International Forum for Justice and Human Rights Jammu and Kashmir (IFJHRJK) has condemned the torturing of a youth by Indian police during custody at Awantipora Police Station in Pulwama.
The IFJHRJK Chairman, Muhammad Ahsan Untoo in a statement issued in Srinagar said that the Indian police had arrested the youth, Muzammil Qadir Butt, from his home in Tral area of Pulwama district, last month. He said that Muzammil was detained at Awantipora Police Station.
Ahsan Untoo said that Muzammil was brutally tortured in custody. “He was later produced before a court. The court directed the police to admit Muzammil in a hospital,” he said.
