It was a premeditated murder,’ says senior journalist whose nephew was killed
SRINAGAR JANUARY 13 :
The initial investigation by police in the case of stabbing of a youth on Monday evening at Khanyar area of Srinagar suggests that the murder was carried out for the sake of a small amount of money, which the “accused” owed to the killed youth.
As per the police, two persons had entered into an argument with the “accused” persons on Monday evening over the issue of money. The argument turned into a “brawl” and ended up in the killing of one among them, while leaving the other one critically injured.
Ziyaan Chisti, son of Mohammad Ashraf Chisti, a resident of Rainawari area of Srinagar was stabbed to death while another youth namely Faizan Fida Bhat, son of Fida Ahmad Bhat, a resident of Elahibagh was left seriously wounded near the Dastgeer Sahib shrine in Khanyar on Monday evening.
“The investigation into this highly sensitive case is going on. Initially, one of the reasons behind this entire episode has been established that an accused person owed the deceased youth a sum of rupees 7 thousand. The entire argument revolved around the issue of money and seems to be major reason behind the argument, which has resulted in the killing of one person namely Ziyaan Chisti, while another Faizan Bhat has been injured,” Parvaiz Ahmad, Station House Officer (SHO) Khanyar said.
He added that the police has so far arrested one “accused” person in the case and further arrests will be made soon. “We have arrested one prima facie accused in this case, and further arrests will be made in a day or two,” he said.
He added that other angles were being looked into thoroughly by the police as the investigation was yet to be completed. “This is the initial information. There can be other reasons, too. Police is looking at all angles. Investigation is going on and we’ll come up with complete information tomorrow,” Ahmad said.
Meanwhile, the family of the deceased youth has termed his killing a “pre-planned murder”. “Tragedies don’t stop to visit us.
This youngster Ziyaan Chisti who was brutally stabbed last night in Khanyar is a nephew, my cousin’s first born. There was no scuffle. It was a premeditated murder. Our family has been devastated,” wrote senior journalist Muzamil Jaleel on Facebook.
Following the murder, the pictures of the deceased youth had gone viral on social media sending shock waves across Kashmir valley, with netizens demanding strict punishment for the culprits.
“Whatever the reason may be, the killing any human being is unjustifiable and should be condemned.
Criminals should not be spared so that these inhuman acts may not happen in future,” wrote Hedayat Syed, a Facebook user.(KR)

There were days when our detractors cried to the world that we don’t exist anymore, but people have deflated their claims by supporting PAGD wholeheartedly,” Farooq said while presiding over a meeting of Party functionaries here at party HeadQuarters Nawa-e-Subha Srinagar.
“The PAGD remains unharmed, perhaps stronger than ever before on account of poll outcome in its favor. The results of the polls reveal the out and out support of people to PAGD,” he said.

Asking the party functionaries to remain in touch with the people and ensure mitigation of issues concerning them in their day to day lives, Dr Farooq said, “Highs and lows are part of growth. Sometimes we need to journey into the deepest, darkest, scariest, most painful journeys to succeed. Our party has seen many highs and lows, but with people on our side, we have been able to tide over all the difficulties. We share a bond with people, and it is the duty of the party rank and file to strengthen it by serving them. The region is passing through a difficult phase, thus making it imperative for the party cadre to close their ranks for meeting the challenges ahead.”

New Delhi based Track-2 Diplomatic Forum ‘Centre for Peace and Progress’ has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to order an impartial probe into the Srinagar Encounter that resulted into the killing of three youth on December 30, 2020.
In a letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chairman ‘Centre for Peace and Progress’ O.P Shaw has expressed concern over the killing of three young men – Ajaz Maqbool Ganie, Athar Mushtaq Wani and Zubair Ahmad Lone by the Indian Army’s 2 Rashtriya Rifles Unit in the Lawaypora area of Srinagar.
“I would urge the Government of India and the administration of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir to conduct an independent, impartial and thorough investigation of this encounter, which the families of the dead young men allege was a “fake encounter,” the letter reads.
“This allegation by the families of the deceased is further bolstered by the following information from recent media reports that none of the deceased had any police record or other record of being politically active and none of the deceased was listed in the police’s database of active militants.”
The letter written by O.P Shaw reads that: “Security personnel failed to make any effort to involve the families of the deceased to appeal to the alleged militants to surrender. Frequently, dying militants tend to call their family members in their final hours – it is quite extraordinary that none of the deceased attempted to contact their family members.”
“The residents of the relevant neighborhood contest the military’s assertion that the deceased were given several opportunities to surrender.”
Government should also sympathetically consider the demand of the family members to be handed over the bodies of deceased persons.
“If we are to win back the hearts and minds of Kashmiris, “fake encounters” have to be completely eliminated and, therefore, it is impressed upon the Government of India and its security forces to thoroughly investigate any suspicious encounter and to ensure that in cases where the security forces have perpetrated illegal killings, justice is done in a timely manner,” the letter concludes.
