Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) President and MLA Khansahib Hakim Mohammad Yasin Friday termed the killing of Beerwah youth as target killing.
Hakim Yasin in a statement said, “According to eyewitnesses, the firing at Beerwah today was unnecessary as the situation wasn’t out of control. As reported the slain boy was hit on the head which shows it is a targeted killing. Civilian killings have become a routine in Kashmir and it seems the rulers have become habitual of killing civilians.”
A youth, identified as Tanveer Ahmad Wani, was critically injured after Army fired at him in Beerwah town of district Budgam. He later succumbed at a local hospital.
