Srinagar: As the state government has decided to give away Tabinda
Gani state award for bravery on July 24, the family of Tabinda wants
government to expedite justice delivery in her case.
Talking to KNS, Mohammad Iqbal the uncle of Tabinda said: We have no
issues with state award for bravery in her name, but we want to see
justice is done in her case without any further delay. Tabinda, the
14-year old girl was brutally raped and murdered at Langate Handwara
on July 21, 2007. Pertinently, the incident had evoked massive
protests all across Kashmir resulting into arrest of four
accused-Azhar Mir of Langate, Sadiq Mir, Suresh Mochi of Rajasthan and
Jahangir Bihari of West Bengal under sections 363/369/302/376-B who
are presently in jail.
Iqbal said that seven years have passed since the incident took place
but there seems no headway in the justice delivery system. We
appreciate the government for recognizing her bravery and instituting
an award in her name but I appeal the government to expedite the
justice delivery so that the culprits are brought to justice, he
added.
The government is scheduled to give away Chief Ministers gold medals
for honesty, integrity and meritorious public service besides Tabidna
Gani bravery award on July 24.
