Occupied Kashmir attacker radicalised after beating by Indian troops, parents say

SRINAGAR: A suicide bomber who killed 44 paramilitary policemen in Indian-occupied Kashmir joined a militant group after having been beaten by troops three years ago, his parents told Reuters on Friday.

Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has reportedly claimed responsibility for Thursday’s car bomb attack on a security convoy, the worst in decades of the held territory.

It comes months before a key Indian general election.

Adil Ahmad Dar, 20, from the village of Lethipora in occupied Kashmir, rammed a car full of explosives into the convoy.

“We are in pain in the same way the families of the soldiers are,” said farmer Ghulam Hassan Dar, adding that his son had been radicalised after police stopped him and his friends on the way home from school in 2016.

“They were stopped by the troops and beaten up and harassed,” Dar said, adding that the students were accused of stone-pelting. “Since then, he wanted to join the militants.”

His mother, Fahmeeda, corroborated her husband’s account. “He was beaten by Indian troops a few years back when he was returning from school,” she said. “This led to anger in him against Indian troops.”

Both the parents said they were unaware of their son’s plan to attack the convoy. Dar did not return home from his work as a labourer on March 19 last year, Fahmeeda added.

“We searched for him for three months,” she said. “Finally we gave up efforts to bring him back home.”

Dar said he blamed politicians for his son’s death.

“They should have resolved the issue through dialogue,” he said, referring to the Kashmir conflict. “It is they who are responsible for driving these youth into militancy. The sons of the common man die here, whether they are Indian troops or our sons.”

Yeah let's blame Pakistan for this too.

Its the insult... its lack of respect and it's hate crime against Kashmiris which have made them hate India back. India is cutting the crop of its own sown seeds.

7000+ Kashmiris offered Nimaz-e-Jnazza of the attacker who killed 44 occupying soldiers - and when a Kashmiri Muslim who was working in Indian army died, not even neighbours approached them for condolences.

You don't need to have two eyes to see who is responsible for Kashmir uprising. Now India gives credit to Pakistan, thanks to them but job is actually done well by Indians themselves.

100%. The Indians and only the Indians, specifically the nationalists are responsible for this mess. They can point fingers at others, but that won't change the truth.

AZADI is the only solution.

I hope sane people in India will now realize who's at the fault here and stop running from reality.

What goes around comes around. Indian occupation army will never win Kashmir because they will always scapegoat Pakistan without addressing the real issue: the brutal occupation of Kashmir .

I hope sane people in India will now realize who's at the fault here and stop running from reality.

In a nation of insane people it is insane to expect the sane people to rise.
