Srinagar, June 11,2010:A 14-year-old schoolboy was killed by CRPF trooper when the people were peacefully protesting for their birth right of self-determination in down town area of Rajouri Kadal after Friday prayers. When the youth was shot at his head, he was immediately rushed to SMHS hospital by locals for treatment. However, the doctors there declared him brought dead.
The 14-year-old Tufail’s brutal death is an example of Dr. Manmohan Singh’s zero tolerance. It can be presumed that Dr. Singh has given a green signal to its unbridled cops to eliminate the fourth generation of freedom fighters. It seems that India is worried about passing of Movement to fourth generation. When the news of the youth’s death spread, hundreds of people, particularly youth took to streets at Rajouri Kadal, Saraf Kadal, Kawdara, Nawab Bazar and other areas of the old city, and staged pro-freedom and anti-India demonstrations. Chanting, “We want Freedom,” “Islam Zindabad,” and anti-India slogans, the youth were protesting the death of Tufail.
The protesters alleged that the youth was killed by uniformed men while dispersing the protesters. Enraged protesters engaged troops and police in pitched battles. In retaliation CRPF troops and police, deployed in strength fired numerous teargas canisters after they failed to quell demonstrations with baton charge. The clashes prompted the shopkeepers to pull down their shutters while the movement of transport was also affected. Superintendent of Police (SP) North, Abdur Rashid Paul said that the youth died of injury due to stone pelting. Police, he said, did not use force to quell the demonstrations in the old city.
