Father-son killed in Rajouri
Excelsior Special Correspondent
RAJOURI, Aug 4: Militants last night gunned down a civilian and beheaded his son at Darman in Koteranka area of Budhal, just 500 meters away from a battalion headquarters of the security forces. The killings sparked off strong protests in Koteranka with people disrupting traffic on Budhal-Rajouri road for more than six hours.
Official sources said three militants came to the house of Anwar Hussain, 50, son of Ilam Din at Darman late last night and tried to slit his throat. Hussain, who had earlier also survived two attempts by the militants to kill him, escaped from clutches of the militants.
However, one of the militants fired a burst on him from an AK rifle killing him on spot. The militants then brought out Hussains 22 year old son Mohd Ashraf and took him to main road in Darman. The boy kept on crying loudly for five minutes seeking help but the security personnel, deployed at a battalion headquarters just 500 meters from the encounter site, didnt turn up.
Throat of the boy was slit by the militants, the sources said, adding the militants escaped after about 20 minutes from the village.
