Indian atrocities in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) continue as police killed three innocent businessmen and a civilian in Srinagar during a so-called cordon and search operation on Tuesday.
A heartbreaking video of the daughter of one of the martyred has emerged on social media. Altaf Ahmad Bhat, a cement trader and father of three, was among the slain civilians. Altaf owned a shop in a shopping centre in Srinagar.
In the video, the sobbing adolescent girl says in a trembling voice:
“I asked those Indian soldiers, ‘uncle, what have you done?’ in return, they just laughed. They were laughing shamelessly.”
“How should I explain it to my brother. He’s much younger than me. He doesn’t know anything. He is so attached to his father and so am I,” asks Bhat’s devastated daughter.
The other victims of the mass slaughter include a property dealer, a tea stall owner and a passer-by civilian. Occupying forces have martyred at least 9 innocents including a doctor in two days alone.
Police claimed that the civilians were killed in an exchange of fire between the Indian Army and the alleged militants, but eyewitnesses and the families of the civilians said that the Indian soldiers used them as human shields.
Indian authorities also refused to hand over the bodies to the families and secretly buried them in a remote northwestern village as part of a policy starting in 2020.
When the families of the martyrs protested, the Indian Army tortured them and put them in jail. The family members say that they just want to bury their loved ones close to them and with their own hands in a shariah-compliant manner.
The Indian Army has been incessantly atrocious and disrespectful even towards the dead. Under the new policy of 2020, authorities have buried the bodies of hundreds of alleged guerrillas and their associates in unmarked graves in remote areas.
