According to a statement issued to KNO, the official reply comes in response to the petition filed by chairman international forum for Justice and Human Rights Muhammad Ahsan Untoo under case number SHRC/290/Pul/2018 dated September 4. The reply submitted by the D.C. and SSP Pulwama states that on September 3, forces launched a CASO in village Gusoo, Chew Kalan after reliable inputs about the presence of militants. "Forces fired tear gas shells and a few shots in the air in self defence. Fayaz Ahmed Wani had taken his cow to a nearby field for grazing and a stray bullet hit him after which he was shifted to SMHS hospital Srinagar where doctors declared him brought dead," the reply reads. It stated that the deceased was a layman not involved with any political non political organisation. The report further states that the RS 1 lakh has been sanctioned as the ex-gratia for the next of kin of deceased.
