SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 17 (KNO) : Shakeela, the mother of slain Rayees of Fateh Kadal, said she was terrified and told the forces personnel that there is no one except her family members in the house.The four-story house of Hanga’s owned by Habibullah Hanga, the father of Rayees Ahmad, has a bakery shop on the ground floor which was run by Rayees.Mother of slain Rayees Hanga Shakeela said she went upstairs to awake her husband and sons. When her husband saw the force he collapsed.“He felt on the ground and my younger son shifted him to the hospital,” said Shakeela, adding “her elder son was asked by the forces to accompany them.”“They searched our house but found nothing,” said Shakeela.However, she said, after some time, they asked Rayees again to accompany them inside the house.“They went upstairs and started beating my son. He was crying and asking them not to beat him,” Sakeela recalls. She said later, Rayees was taken into a vehicle and beaten again and whisked away.“I asked a policeman why they have taken my son,” said Shakeela, “he assured me that my son will be released after questioning.”Shakeela, her daughter and other female members of the family were asked to stay in the kitchen, which is in the rear side of the house.Forces told them to stay inside as they “will burst crackers outside”. “There were loud bangs, probably grenades. Our kids were crying and we were terrified,” she said adding that they were made to sit in the kitchen till sunrise.” “At 6 am we were asked to come out and were shifted to another house” said Shakeela adding that “she saw forces firing a shell towards here house which later went into flames.”The family said there was no militant present in the house.“Had there been any militant the forces would not have been able to search,” she said.Surrounded by women flock inside nearby marriage hall, Shakeela said, her son was innocent. “He was running the bakery and had no links with militants. Forces killed him by torture,” inconsolable Shakeela, said.(KNO)
