Doctor among three traders killed by Indian troops in cold blood in Srinagar

SRINAGAR (92 News) – In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred three Kashmiri businessmen and a surgeon doctor in cold blood in Srinagar.

The troops martyred a cement trader Altaf Ahmad Butt, a property dealer, a tea stall owner and a dental surgeon identified as Mudassar during a cordon and search operation (CASO) in Hyderpora area of the city on Monday evening.

A family member of martyred Altaf Ahmad Butt said that the martyr had a cement shop at Hyderpora and was killed in unprovoked firing by the troops in the area. Altaf was the owner of the complex and was killed in cold blood. “We are protesting at the Barzulla demanding his body,” he added.

Speaking to the media, martyr Altaf Butt’s niece Saima Butt said that her uncle was a common man and was not involved in any militant activity as claimed by the police.

“My uncle has been murdered. He was used as a human shield in a staged encounter. He runs a hardware shop and owns the complex where the forces had come for checking,” said Saima.

The killings triggered protest in Burzalla area of the city and the protesters demanded bodies of the victims. They said that Indian troops are killing innocent Kashmiris under a recently carved policy by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah during his recent visit to the occupied territory. As per this policy, the troops have been asked to target innocent civilians for any attacks on Indian forces in the territory.
