The Dramatic Drowning in Kulgam:
A young man's demise in Kulgam has set off a storm, leading the Jammu and Kashmir Police to disclose a video, shedding light on the incident's circumstances. According to the police, the deceased, Imtiaz Ahmad Magray, was linked to terrorist groups and he met his end while trying to escape during a security operation.
The authorities assert that Magray, a 23-year-old local, leaped into the swift-flowing Vaishav Nallah in South Kashmir's Kulgam district on May 4, in a bid to evade a joint search team consisting of the police and army. According to drone footage, the moment he plunged into the river and was swept away by the current is evident.
Official sources disclose that Magray was under surveillance and was apprehended on May 3. During questioning, he allegedly confessed to aiding terrorists by supplying food and logistics in the Tangmarg forest area and admitted to possessing knowledge about two Pakistani terrorist hideouts. Based on this intel, he agreed to aid the security forces in locating one of the hideouts.
However, as the team closed in on the site, Magray is said to have attempted to escape, consequently drowning. The tragic death of Imtiaz Ahmad Magray, a resident of Tangmarg in Kulgam district, whose body was retrieved from a river on Sunday, has sparked speculation among political parties and security forces.
Previously, PDP chief, Mehbooba Mufti, and Education Minister, Sakina Itoo, expressed concern about the youth's death and pushed for a comprehensive investigation. Sakina Itoo, also a local MLA, pleaded with the LG to look into the matter and called for a thorough probe into the death, while accentuating the government's support for the family.
While this demanding voice echoes, the PDP Chief, Mehbooba Mufti, too cast doubt on the death. On her social media platform, she inquired about another young man's body found in the river, allegedly picked up by the army a couple of days earlier, and suggested foul play.
As of the current situation, no details from a judicial inquiry have emerged, as the calls for an examination seem fresh and ongoing.
