SRINAGAR, Mar 14: A local court today issued fresh non-bailable arrest warrants against the two policemen who have been accused involved in the killing of a minor during protests in 2010 in Kashmir.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Srinagar, Virender Singh Bhou, directed the Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Abdul Gani Mir to execute the order without fail.
The CJM had earlier rapped the two accused policemen for failing to appear before the court and had directed IGP Kashmir to file report.
The SSP Srinagar today submitted the report on behalf of the IGP. Expressing its displeasure over the report filed by SSP, the court issued the non-bailable warrants against the two accused cops.
“The report has been filed by SSP Srinagar on behalf of IGP Kashmir and it has been reported by SSP that accused No. 1 is on earned leave and accused No. 2 is undergoing training at Talwara STC and warrants were forwarded to unit for execution,” the court said.
Wamiq Farooq, a class VII student, was killed on January 31, 2010 when a teargas shell fired from a close range by the accused policeman hit him on the head near Gani Memorial Stadium at Rajouri Kadal in the old part of Srinagar.
Soon after Wamiq’s killing, his father, Farooq Ahmad Wani had filed a complaint before the CJM seeking registration of an FIR under Section 302 RPC.
Citing that “sufficient material of commission of offences” about the accused cops was available, the Additional District Sessions Judge, Parveez Husain Kachroo, Srinagar had dismissed the revision petition filed by police and directed it to get the accused cops before the trial court.
Earlier, Chief Judicial Magistrate Srinagar had issued non-bailable arrest warrants against sub-inspector Abdul Khaliq and SPO Mohammad Akram in connection with the killing of Wamiq Farooq.
