Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, three people, including an
elderly man, were arrested in Hajin area of north Kashmir’s Bandipora
district during nocturnal raids by Indian forces.
According to Kashmir Media Service, those arrested were identified as
Mohammad Umar Dar, Gowhar Ahmad Parray and Sonaullah Butt (75).
The forces conducted arrests in reaction to protests that followed after
the killing of two youth in Hajin last week. The family members of Butt
said they were surprised over his arrest. “He suffers from a couple of
ailments, and remains usually ill. He was detained unnecessarily,” said
Mohammad Afzal, his son. Police official from Hajin police station feigned ignorance about the
arrests.
