SRINAGAR: The family of deceased Bashir Ahmed Khan, an elderly civilian who died in front of his 3-year-old grandson, has claimed that he was killed by the Indian troops.
The deceased’s funeral was held today in Sopore where his last rituals were offered.
According to the deceased’s family, he was dragged out of his car and shot dead by Indian paramilitary troopers. “Locals said that the deceased was brought out of his car and shot dead by the forces,” Farooq Ahmed, a nephew of the dead man said.
“They told us that someone in uniform then put the child on his chest as he lay dead on the road and took photographs,” Farooq Ahmed revealed.
Bashir Ahmed Khan was shot in front of his three-year-old grandson, who was traveling with him. He was later pictured sitting on dead grandfather’s chest that went viral on social media and was widely shared.
In one of the videos, the child himself has confessed that his grandfather was killed by Police (Indian troops).
