SRINAGAR: The family of Hilal Molvi Wednesday said that they have no regrets over the loss of their kin.
He has attained martyrdom and we are proud of him, the uncle of slain militant Ghulam Mohammad Rather said.
Hilal Ahemd Rather aka Hilal Molvi was killed in an encounter in Srinagar during wee hours with SOG and CRPF.
He was 32 and had attained the degree of Mufti from Darul Uloom Deoband.
PSA was slapped on Hilal in November 2010 and he spent 21 months in Kupwara and Udhampur jails. Police harassed him on the one pretext or the other when he was a free man, his uncle said.
He said police used to call him frequently to police stations. Finally Hilal left home on 7th November 2012 and never returned back, Ghulam Muhammad said.
A police official said that Hilal Molvi was a dreaded Lashkar militant who was wanted in different cases. Six FIRs vide no. 78/2012, 181,187, 189,190, 226/2010 under section 307, 436, 423, 323, 336, 7/25 Arms Act were lodged against him in Police Station Kreeri, he said. (CNS)
