He further added: "There should be a judicial inquiry. We also decided that Dr Sahab (Farooq Abdullah) will send a letter to the President wherein we've said that there should be a credible probe".

 

The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor's office tweeted that it "will ensure there is no injustice."







An encounter between security forces and terrorists had broken out in the Hyderpora area of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir on November 15 after input was received by police regarding the presence of terrorists in an illegal call centre in a private building in the area. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha ordered a magisterial inquiry into the Hyderpora encounter. 


The gunfight took place on Monday in a house in which four persons including a foreign terrorist, a local militant and two persons were killed. The police had said that two of the four were overground workers.


 

Meanwhile, the family of Mudassir Gul, killed in the encounter, protested at the press colony in Srinagar on Tuesday, claiming that he was a doctor and had no involvement in militancy. 

 

"He spoke to his wife last evening. He has two small children and old parents. He was not holding a gun in his hand, he was innocent. He was Dr Mudassir, he is not a terrorist, please give us the dead body back," news agency IANS quoted one of the protesting relatives as saying.

 

Even the family of the house owner, Altaf Ahmad, alleged that he was used as a human shield by the security forces.
