The father of Amir Magray, one of the area of Srinagar in November, on Thursday filed a petition in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court seeking the return of his body of his son, maintaining his "innocence" and the family's long contribution in the fight against terrorism.
The 18-page petition was filed by through his lawyers Deepika Singh Rajawat and Mohd Arshad Chowdhary. The move came two days after the (SIT) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police claimed that while one civilian was killed by a foreign terrorist, two others, including a local "militant" (Magray), died in crossfire after being used as human shield by the hiding terrorist.
A Pakistani terrorist and three other persons were killed in Hyderpora on November 15 and the police claimed that all the slain men had links to militancy. The families of the three, alleging foul play, had claimed that they were innocent, prompting the police to order an inquiry. Lt Governor Manoj Sinha had also ordered a magisterial probe into the incident.
