The family members of a just lately arrested alleged ‘militant’ organised a protest in Srinagar and claimed the youth was harmless.
“My brother is innocent and had nothing to do with militancy after he surrendered in 2006. He was picked up by the police (in Jammu) recently. Since the arrest, he has not been allowed to meet us,” Meena Jan, sister of the arrested youth Zahoor Ahmad Rather, stated.
Ms Meena and different family members organised a protest in Srinagar.
According to the police, Rather, who was arrested on February 13 in Jammu, is a prime militant of The Resistance Force (TRF) gourp. He is accused of killing three BJP employees in 2020 in south Kashmir.
“Rather was living in a rented accommodation in Jammu along with his wife and two small children when was arrested. He sells dry fruits like walnuts to sustain himself,” the family claimed.
“He is being implicated and has nothing to do with the militancy after he surrendered in 2006. He is suffering from various ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes and had an eye surgery also,” Ms Meena stated.
