The Jammu and Kashmir has issued notice to the State Government in the case of killing of a Kulgam youth, Ghulam Rasool, allegedly in a fake encounter by suspended Superintendent of Police Hansraj Parihar five years ago.
The family of the slain youth filed a petition before the Court and alleged that a team of Special Operations Group personnel and government gunmen picked up Ghulam Rasool, on April 12, 2002 and detained him in a camp. After the SOG refused to release the youth, his family went to local police. Police refused to cooperate. The family later learnt that Rasool had died due to torture by five government gunmen identified as Shakeel, Rahman, Fayaz, Ashraf and Shabir Bhat in the presence of Parihar who was then SP Kulgam. The body was buried inside the camp.
The petition charges the police and civil administration of not taking any action against the accused despite passing of seven years. The petition also seeks initiation of criminal proceedings against Parihar and other accused.
