India's policing in disputed Kashmir is deeply stained with incidents of extrajudicial killings and the fresh killing of a young Kashmiri labourer is another addition to the country's bad human rights record
At dawn on September 3, the Indian police raided the house of Zareena Begum in north Kashmir's Handwara district and arrested her 24-year-old son Riyaz Ahmad Thickrey, a daily wage labourer.
A few hours later, Shakeel and Begum visited Riyaz in the lock-up. He told Begum that he could have won his freedom if the police booked him for violating the forest laws but sees himself imprisoned for a long haul since he has been "framed" in a militancy-related incident. Unable to comprehend what her son had done — all she knew was that prior to his arrest someone had reported him to the police for felling one or two trees — she returned home along with her younger son Shakeel.
The police sent Riyaz's body for post-mortem. A court inquiry was initiated and on the morning of September 5, the body was returned to the family. While bathing the corpse, the mournful relatives and neighbours examined it carefully. Dhobi said the protest was largely peaceful but some young protesters couldn't hold their anger and pelted the police with stones. In retaliation, the police hit them with batons and fired tear gas.
