Refuting police version and terming it a fabricated story Geelani said there is not an iota of truth in it, and added the police statement with respect to a non state laborer is a blatant lie and said Hurriyat Conference is seriously looking into the matter and findings would be made public.

Geelani said that the police statement aims at to deviate the attention from the said gruesome incident and unfounded and baseless stories are being floated.

Geelani called on people to maintain mutual brotherhood and warned that some people for their ulterior motives were trying to create misunderstanding between Muslim and Sikh communities. Minorities are sacred trust and it is our religious duty to protect them, said Geelani
