The family claimed that Altaf Bhat had no links to militancy. His teenage daughter pleaded with authorities to return her father's body.
Srinagar: Police on Tuesday said businessman Mohammad Altaf Bhat was killed in the "cross-firing" between militants and security forces at Hyderpora Monday, but he would be counted as a "harbourer of terrorists" as he did not inform authorities about the tenants in his building.
Altaf Bhat was among the four persons, including a Pakistani terrorist and his local associate, killed in the gunfight in Hyderpora locality of Srinagar late Monday evening.
"Altaf was killed in the cross-firing with the terrorists. Let the postmortem report come and we will come to know who fired the bullet that killed him," Inspector General of Police Kashmir zone Vijay Kumar told reporters here.
