Kangan, Mar 22: A high-level delegation of BJP leaders visited Wooder Kangan in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district to offer their condolences to the family of its leader and Ex MLA Gurez Faqir Mohd Khan who died by alleged suicide at his official residence in Tulsibagh Srinagar on Thursday.

BJP leaders Altaf Thakur, Ali Mohammed, Sajid Yousuf, Ghulam Hassan Rather besides others were part of the delegation who visited the bereaved family in Kangan. 

Talking to the media persons, BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur demanded a high-level investigation into the circumstances surrounding Faqir Mohammad Khan’s alleged suicide.

“This is a suspicious death and the police and other investigation authorities should properly investigate and probe this incident,” Thakur said.

“I met him a day before and he was doing well and doesn’t look like he will have taken this extreme step,” he said, adding that though police is investigating the matter but it seems that it has happened under a conspiracy which needs to be investigated.
