When 12-year-old was thrashed while shielding his mother
(from greaterkashmir)
I kept shouting for help towards the JKP cops standing nearby but no one came to our rescue, says wounded Fahmeeda as Inayat having apparent injuries on his ribs was rushed to hospital.
The mother had just picked his only son from nearby Biscoe School when they were trapped by the troopers on the deserted bridge soon after teargas shelling in the area.
“We kept walking with confidence and believed that the troopers wouldn’t attack us but our calculation went wrong.”
Fahmeeda says a group of dozen odd men in uniform cornered her and started thrashing her with lathis and she fell on the ground.
The 6th standard student jumped on his mother to shield her.But they (CRPF personnel) didn’t stop and started beating him the same way. I cried for help and tried to save my son, she added.
Finally the mother-son duo managed to get out of the clutches of the troopers when some civilians approached for rescue.
The boy was immediately rushed to hospital while wounded Fahmeeda denied to go for her own treatment. Crying, she sat on the Hari Singh High Street square. People tried to console her as she shouted towards nearby paramilitary CRPF bunker saying “I am not afraid of death, I will burn you all if anything happens to son.”
“What had my innocent child done to you?” she shouted as some armed troopers kept watching her from the bunker and Inayat was being treated at the Bone & Joint Hospital, Barzulla.
