Mehbooba calls on youth ‘tortured’ by Army officer


Date:- 06 Feb 2019


Former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti visited a Srinagar hospital to meet a youth allegedly tortured by an Army officer in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

She visited the SMHS hospital this evening to see the condition of the youth.

“She sought investigation and action from the Governor and the Army top brass in this regard,” a PDP spokesman said.

Mehbooba was quoted by the spokesman as having said that “if this is the condition of someone whose brother is working with the Army and whose father has already been killed by militants, how would others fair?”

 

Tawseef Ahmad Wani, 27, from Pulwama was allegedly beaten up inside an Army camp on Monday. His family alleged that an Army officer tortured him and also made his video. The family said he was later released by the Army. Wani’s brother is an armyman.

“Tawseef was taken to a Pulwama hospital and later shifted to the SMHS,” a family member said.

Meanwhile, a senior Army officer denied the allegations of the torture of the youth. “The youth was not detained and there was no torture,” the officer said.
