SRINAGAR: Hizb-ul-Mujhadeen Wednesday claimed that one of its militants Shakil Ahmed Kasana aka Obaidullah was killed by Jammu and Kashmir Police in a fake attack at Batmaloo, Srinagar.
Hizb spokesman, Baleeg-ud-Din, said Kasana was a top-ranked militant who was killed by police in a fake encounter.
“The attack was carried out in a planned way to silence our Mujahid once for all and we condemn this action of J&K Police,” he said adding,Shakeel was a brave militant who served the nation from the core of his heart.
He said Shakil was not only the body guard of United Jihad Council Chairman Syed Salahuhdin but an important member of his ‘Special Security Squad’.
“He was arrested by Indian security agency last year and was killed in a stage-managed attack on Wednesday. He had come to know about the secrets of the Indian security agencies during his detention and Kashmir police was afraid that after his release, he would pass it on to other Hizb militants,” said Baleeg-ud-Din.
He said Hizb, especially Syed Salahuddin, had expressed grief over Kasanas murder.
“Our Mujahid faced various hardships in Indian jails and yet did not compromise. We salute and honour him,” he said.
“We are going to avenge the killing of Shakil Ahmed Kasana and others whom police killed in custody and in other fake encounters. Hizb will intensify its attacks on Jammu Kashmir Police,” he said.CNS
