A 30-year-old lecturer from Shaar-Shali locality in Khrew area of South Kashmir’s Pulwama district was beaten to death by Army in a nocturnal raid while at least 100 people—including elderly and children—received grave injuries in ruthless thrashing by soldiers during the dead of the night, reports and witnesses said on Thursday. Over 90 vehicles including tippers were also damaged by soldiers while windowpanes, doors and electronic gadgets of over 200 houses were smashed during the night-long raid, they said.

The residents of Shaar-Shaali alleged that soldiers of Army’s 50 Rashtriya Rifles also ‘looted’ saffron worth Rs 30 lakh from various houses while mobile phones and cash were also stolen. “It was a doomsday for us. We thought it is the end of our existence,” said the village elders who requested not to be named for fear of army reprisals. “It was the Army and they hit everything that came in their way. Even children and elderly were not spared.”
The slain youth was identified as Shabir Ahmed Mungoo of Shaar, who is survived by his wife, father and a 15-month-old son, Nouman. For Mungoo family, killing of Shabir is the second tragedy in a span of three years. Two years ago, Shabir’s mother was hit by an Army vehicle at Lethpora area on Srinagar-Jammu highway after which she died. With the killing of Shabir, the death toll in the 41-day-long unrest has reached 66 while over 7000 have sustained injuries.

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT

Wali Muhammad Mungoo, the father of slain Shabir, said a team of Army men carrying knives, iron rods and axes reached their Shaar village and “unleashed a reign of terror.” “My son had finished his dinner and was sitting in his room. All of a sudden Army men barged into our house and dragged out my son,” said Mungoo. “We tried to stop the soldiers, but they kicked us and whisked away Shabir. I could see they were beating him ruthlessly.”
The Army men took four people, including Sarpanch Abdul Ahad and Shabir, along. “Today morning (at 6), my son returned home dead. An ambulance dropped his body here,” Mangoo told Greater Kashmir.

He reiterated that the soldiers were carrying iron rods, sticks and knives. “They first ensured that electricity is put off. They hurled an iron rod at the high-tension line after which electricity went off in the entire area,” Mungoo said. “It was around 10.30 pm. They started entering every house and beat up everyone who came in their way. They damaged our Sumo vehicle too.”

Residents said the soldiers beat up Shabir ruthlessly at a nearby bus stand and later tried to hand over his body to police.

“The police sought details about Shabir’s death which the Army refused to divulge. The soldiers left the body at a police post. Perhaps it was the soldiers who had managed the ambulance that ferried Shabir’s body to his home.”

Another witness Abdul Ahad Sheikh said he was taken to army camp in Pampore where three other men from his village were already present. “One of the three was (slain) Shabir Ahmad. He wasn’t able to talk or stand up as he had been beaten badly,” said Sheikh.

After some time, he said, all the four persons were taken to Police Station Pampore. “I was vomiting and Shabir was in a really bad condition. The Pampore Police Station refused to take custody of Shabir and other person as they could see that both of them were badly injured,” Sheikh said. “Minutes later, Shabir asked for a glass of water. He took some water and fell down, and collapsed. We could feel Shabir was no more.”

The body of Shabir was taken to Sub-District Hospital Pampore where doctors declared him as brought dead.

Sources privy to Shabir’s post-mortem revealed that “he died of cardiac arrest caused by intense beating.”

Chairman of Saffron Growers Association Abdul Majeed Wani, who was also beaten by the Army, said the soldiers were shouting pro-freedom slogans. “We thought some protest was going on. And within no time, they barged into our houses and beat up every one. They broke windowpanes, doors, and also damaged belongings including refrigerators. My four sons were beaten to pulp. One is still in a hospital while three have been discharged,” Wani said. “The soldiers were from Army’s 50 RR. I could recognize them. They even took away Saffron worth Rs 30 lakh from the entire village. It seemed they were drunk. They locked us in a single room before leaving our house. They even beat up a six-year-old boy.”

He said neighbours were shouting and crying for help. “Such was the terror that we couldn’t help each other,” Wani said. “The soldiers came thrice after taking a break of 10 minutes. The beating continued till 3:30 am.”

Wani’s son Farooq Ahmed said he is going to register a complaint against the Army.

Residents alleged the soldiers also took away mobile phones and cash from people whom they beat up. “At least 200 houses were damaged while 100 people were beaten to pulp. Some were shifted to SMHS hospital, some to Bone and Joints hospital and many were admitted at Primary Health Centre Khrew. Many were discharged after being given the necessary first-aid,” they said. “We have never seen such atrocities of Army before. It seemed the soldiers were drunk.”

Asked whether there was any provocation from youth, the residents said that on Wednesday evening (at around 4 pm), there was mild stone-pelting on Army vehicles which passed through the area. “There were no intense clashes, but yes, some youth hurled stones at the Army convoy. But the terror unleashed by Army men was without any provocation,” they said.

Meanwhile, thousands attended the funeral of slain Shabir amid pro-freedom slogans. He was laid to rest in nearby martyrs’ graveyard.

POLICE REGISTERS CASE

Police registered a murder case against unknown security personnel. "A case under sections 307 (attempt to Murder), 302 (murder), 427 (mischief causing damage to property) and 120-B (Criminal Conspiracy) of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) has been registered against unknown security personnel in connection with the killing of Shabir Ahmed at Khrew,” police said.

According to a statement issued by Zonal Police Headquarters Kashmir, during the intervening night of August 17-18 “after stone pelting, a clash took place between army and some locals of village Shar-Shali, Khrew resulting in death of one person Shabir Ahmed Mungu and injuries to four others.” The statement said that the police have taken cognizance of the matter and investigation has been taken up.

I am sure their propaganda is of a much minor nature if it indeed is compared to Indian ministries and main news channels which some times claims JF 17 to be an indian plane and sometimes say all is ok in Kashmir and people are singing praises for Chief terrorist Modi.

Kashmir lecturer’s killing: Army says raids not sanctioned, such acts won’t be tolerated
Amid the outrage in Kashmir, Army Friday said actions by its soldiers, like the one in which a lecturer was killed, will not be tolerated. “These raids were not sanctioned in the first place. It is unjustified. Nobody can support it and it will not be tolerated,” Northern Army Commander Lt Gen D S Hooda told reporters here.

He said an inquiry has been ordered into the incident that took place during the intervening night of August 17 and 18 in Khrew area of Pulwama district. Shabir Ahmad Monga, a lecturer, was killed and 18 others sustained injuries when they were thrashed by army personnel who were conducting nocturnal raids to arrest stone pelters in the area.

Asked about the circumstances that led to the incident, the army commander said according to the information he has, the troops came under stone pelting by the mobs. “The instructions are there to exercise maximum restraint but these are difficult times. The security forces are facing tough times and sometimes things get out of hand,” he added.
