SRINAGAR: In their latest act of state sponsored terrorism, Indian occupation forces martyred four Kashmiri youth in different parts of the valley.
According to reports gathered from multiple sources, Indian forces cordoned off several areas in district Shopian of the occupied valley, and started their so-called search operation.
During the siege laid around villages of Muslim population, three Kashmiri youth were shot dead in Drach and one in Moolu area of district Shopian. Locals said all of those were martyred by the Indian forces in fake encounters.
Three of those lost lives in the fake encounters have been identified as Saqib from Karimabad Pulwama, Zubair from dumpora Shopian and Jamsheed from Rajpora Pulwama.
It may be mentioned here that in order to change the demographics of the occupied valley, Indian forces have resorted to numerous tactics including the one to silence voices opposing the issuance of fake domiciles to Non-Kashmiris. Just last year, some 350 innocent Kashmiris lost lives in series of fake encounters by the Indian forces.
Reports suggest that during the same period, Indian forces conducted 467 cordoned and search operations, 87 gunfights, and arrested 1,686 Kashmiris. According to the report, 29 Indian soldiers committed suicide in various parts of Indian-administered Kashmir in 2021.
