Srinagar, September 04, 2022 (PPI-OT):The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has denounced the custodial killing of a mentally-challenged resident of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Tabarak Hussain, by the Indian army in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Tabarak Hussain was shot at and arrested by the Indian troops after he unintentionally crossed the Line of Control in Nawshera area of Rajouri district, last month. He was martyred in the custody of the Indian army, yesterday. As part of Indian nefarious attempts to defame Pakistan at the international level, Indian officials had claimed that Tabarak Hussain was bribed to attack an Indian army post in IIOJK.
However, some videos of Tabarak Hussain had emerged on social media in which he seemed to be quite an abnormal and mentally-challenged person. In some of these videos captured while he was at his home in Azad Kashmir, he had been seen tied with ropes and chains so that he could not harm himself or other people.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said torturing innocent Kashmiris to death has become new normal in the occupied territory. He added that Tabarak Hussain was mentally ill, which the Indian authorities knew as he had also mistakenly crossed the Line of Control six years back and was returned through Wagah border. The APHC urged the international community particularly the United Nations to hold India accountable for war crimes being perpetrated by its troops in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Indian police arrested a religious scholar from a seminary Madeenatul Uloom at Dadpeth in Kishtwar district of Jammu region. The scholar identified as Abdul Wahid, a resident of Cherji Dool tehsil of the district, was a staying with his wife and a son in a house adjacent to the madrassa, where he was working as religious teacher. He has been arrested on the ridiculous charge of presence of people from across the Line of Control and religious content in his WhatsApp and Facebook accounts.
A Central Reserve Police Force man died under suspicious circumstances in Karnah area of Kupwara district. National Conference President Farooq Abdullah visited Soura Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, and enquired after the health of senior APHC leader Maulana Abbas Ansari.
