Srinagar MP Raises Questions On 22-Year-Old’s Death In Kulgam
Srinagar: Ruhullah Mehdi, the Lok Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) from Srinagar, raised questions after the body of a 22-year-old youth from South Kashmir was recovered on Sunday, days after allegedly being picked up by security forces for questioning.
“I am deeply worried by the recovery of 22-year-old Imtiyaz Ahmad Magray’s body from a stream in Kulgam. According to credible reports, Imtiyaz was picked up by the security forces days ago, and today, he was returned to his family, lifeless,” Mehdi said in a statement on Sunday.
Residents of a village in Kulgam district recovered the body of a Magray on Sunday amid allegations that the deceased was picked by security forces for questioning in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
“This follows disturbing allegations by family members of those who were recently killed in Kupwara and Baramulla, raising serious questions about the pattern of abuse,” Mehdi said, supporting the family’s demand for a swift and independent investigation into Imtiyaz’s death while asserting that full accountability for all involved must be upheld.

“Kashmiris cannot be treated as collateral damage in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, Arbitrary detentions, custodial killings and torture was violations of every democratic and legal principle. Counterterrorism is increasingly getting reflected as collective punishment,” Mehdi said in the statement.
