Eleven abducted people, mostly relatives of policemen in the four south Kashmir districts (Pulwama, Anantnag, Shopian and Kulgam) were let off late on Friday after the police allowed the fathers of three militants, mother of two arrested militants were also released.
After the release of the policemen’s relatives, Militants too issued an audio statement alleging they picked up these men to make the police realise the “pain of a mother” whose son has been taken away.
Additional director general of police (law and order) Munir Ahmad Khan on Friday said the police do not vandalise property or harass militants’ relatives.
“We are a professional force and don’t believe in harassment of anybody. But any relative or friend of a militant who is involved in some illegal activity will be taken care of by the law.”
The detention of senior militant, along with the father and two brothers of another militant, Wednesday night, triggered a chain of abductions of relatives of policemen on Thursday night by militants, spreading fear among the families of local policemen.
A few kilometres away in Dugripora, mother of the arrested militant narrated something similar. She said the police had swooped on their house between 11.30pm and midnight, and took away her husband and their two sons for questioning.
“At the police station, they told him your son picked up the son of a policeman at Pinglish in Tral and we picked you up. They asked my husband to tell his son to surrender and, in the same breath, conceded that he won’t listen,” mother of the militant said.
He alleged that the police had been at the forefront, along with the army under PSA” (Public Safety Act) whenever militants attack the army anywhere.
when a policeman was killed in October 2017, and how army soldiers knocked on their doors when army man Aurangzeb was kidnapped and killed in June.
