Srinagar, Jan 7 : Writhing in
pain and anger at the Bone and Joints Hospital here, 14-year-old Muhammad Younis
Mir, one of the injured in Pulwama firing, accused the forces of resorting to
indiscriminate firing that left many injured, including a few
teenagers.
“Why did they shoot me? What was my crime? When they started
firing indiscriminately, I shouted along with few of my colleagues. We are
children. They did not listen to us and continued firing,”
Younis, a student
of 7th standard, said.
He said, when people started moving towards the
encounter site at Bubgam, the forces started chasing them and then resorted to
indiscriminate firing. “They targeted everyone there, leaving many in the pool
of blood,” Younis said. “I didn’t go near the encounter site, yet they shot at
me.”
Medicos attending Younis advise him not to talk much. “The bullet is
still stuck in his foot. He needs immediate surgery,” said a doctor.
Four
members of a family—Jehangir Ahmad Mir, Ashiq Hussain, Showkat Ahmad and Gowhar
Ahmad—were also injured in the incident. “The forces fired at us even after we
got injured,” they said.
Jehangir was injured in the firing at Bubgam.
“While we were taking him (Jehangir) to the district hospital Pulwama for
treatment, the forces came out of a vehicle near the Pulwama market and started
firing at us. Jehangir, who had already received at bullet, got two more bullets
in the main market firing while three of us also received bullets,” said
Jehangir’s cousin, Showkat Ahmad.
