Woman among four killed by Indian forces in IoK

Deceased include one woman, three youth

Four people were killed Monday morning as Indian troops carried out an operation in Indian-occupied Kashmir, reported Kashmir Media Service. The deceased include one woman and three youth.

The operation was carried out jointly by the Indian army, police and Indian paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force in Younsu village of Handwara. Director General of Police (DGP) S P Vaid claimed that the three youth were killed in an encounter with the troops.



The woman, identified as Misra Banom, lost her life in the firing.

Indian authorities have suspended mobile and internet services in Sopore and Handwara areas of the district.

On Sunday, President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Sardar Masood Khan demanded India stop its human rights violations and crimes against humanity in IoK.

The planned massacre of Kashmiris at the hands of the Indian forces was synonymous to genocide and tantamount to war crimes, he said, adding that Kashmiris had been made homeless for years in their native land.

“The word ‘violations’ is a euphemism considering the horrendous war crimes being carried out in Kashmir,” said Masood.
