Mehbooba demands time-bound probe into killing of Jammu youth

Srinagar, Jul 25: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and PDP President, Mehbooba Mufti on Friday demanded a time-bound probe into the killing of a youth in alleged police firing in Jammu.

“Mohammad Parvez a tribal youth was killed by the police at Surat Chak, Police Station in Satwari yesterday. He’s now been labelled as a drug dealer but even that may be the case we still live in a democratic country where justice is served through rule of law as opposed to khap panchayats or kangaroo courts,” Mehbooba wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“Sincerely hope the DG takes cognisance of this shocking incident by ordering a time bound impartial probe. We must not descend or condone a culture of extra judicial encounters because that’s precisely what alienates people,” she added.
