SRINAGAR:Judicial Magistrate Qazigund has directed SSP Kulgam to get investigation in the killing of 20 year old, Basit Ahmad Ahangar, in an FIR (235/2016) done “by any other officer other than Dy SP and SHO Qazigund”.
Basit was killed on 3rd September when forces allegedly targeted and fired pellets on him, resulting in his death while he was returning home.
Family of Basit had moved an application before Judicial Magistrate 1st Class at Qazigund seeking registration of FIR against SHO and Dy SP Qazigund.
However, the court directed state authorities to complete the investigation with “regard to the complaint filed by the father of deceased on the basis of the First Information Report (FIR) already lodged. It said that a new FIR can’t be registered.
The court order issued on September 17, 2016 reads, “further facts/accusations in the application/complaint disclosing commission of the cognizable offence… be also got investigated on the bases of First Information Report already lodged on 03-09-2016 and keeping in view the version of the complaint pertaining to the death of the Basit.”
In the application, the family has accused, “…deceased Basit was not involved in any kind of stone pelting incident and force used against him was totally unwarranted in law and excessive in nature and intentionally used to cause death.”
Basit was to fly to Punjab for admission in to a Business College but he was laid to rest a day ahead.
“Use of force is evident from the death certificate issued by medical superintendent district hospital Anantnag (Islamabad) which reflects that the death of the deceased is result of multiple injuries to the left limb, two big lacerations in the intra-parietal regional head with blackening around right eye with bleeding from nose and mouth,” the family application reads.
The case will be investigated under sections 307,188,148,149,336 RPC and 3PSS under FIR No235/2016 lodged on 03-09-2016.
