On 23rd September 1995, reporters saw bodies of elderly coppersmith Mohamed Yaqub Misgar and his 19 year-old on Majid killed by security forces in Srinagar. We will investigate. Jawhara Misgar told the reports that she tried to put some water into the mouths of her 70 year-old father and her brother who lay dying. In order to maintain a 600,000 strong army in the state, the administration have turned a blind eye to scavenging by their soldiers. They were beaten up badly.
Every crackdown ends up with complaints of theft of gold, watches and money.
There are thousands of reports with the local Police and the media of yet more examples of foraying and robbing of the innocent civilians. In August 1995 at Miskeen Bagh, Srinagar, rampaging troops smashed all the windows, looted all homes and stole gold belonging to the residents. Disappearances Indian army do not stop to ponder outside a front door and produce a valid request or order to enter. In normal life trespassing into a home is a serious criminal offence. Armed forces in Kashmir, on the other hand, smash their way through doors at any time and any place.
