The deceased militant according to sources was booked by police for his alleged involvement in Hygam attack in which four police personnel had lost their lives. He was also booked for his alleged involvement in an attack on the residential house of former legislator and National Conference leader Muhammad Ashraf Ganaie.

Sources said he was also booked under section 302.
Accusing State of murdering their prisoner, he said: “How is it possible that someone hands over a grenade to him in police custody? What were police doing? It is a murder and nothing else. State is responsible for his murder.”
Official sources said that a “high level” enquiry has been ordered in the incident by top brass of police into the incident.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police (North Kashmir) Gareeb Dass said: “A Pakistani under-trail militant was killed and five policemen are injured in a powerful grenade blast that took place in a police vehicle at Hygam today. The prisoner was being taken back to Srinagar after court attendance in Sopore.”
He said a probe has been ordered in this regard and a case has also been registered. The DIG confirmed that a grenade was recovered near the prisoner’s body.
When asked where from the grenades came, he said: “We are investigating that part. We are probing from where it came. Whether it was handed over to him in the court or it was dropped in the unattended vehicle. All these things are being probed.” --With inputs from GNS
