J-K: Video shows trapped militant being killed

Defence spokesman Lt Col J S Brar said the person shown in the video was a Pakistani terrorist.

A video-clip,currently in circulation here,allegedly shows an injured and trapped militant being shot dead by security personnel from point blank range.

In the video-clip,more than 10 Armymen,accompanied by an officer and a policeman,are seen standing on the debris of a house. An injured militant,crying in pain,is seen stuck under the debris. The security personnel start removing the debris and ask him,Are you a Pakistani? Where are you from? The militant doesnt answer any of the questions. As the soldiers remove some of the debris,he puts his hand out and waves. A soldier is heard saying,He is the bearded one. Another is heard saying,Open fire. A soldier shoots him from point blank range.

Defence spokesman Lt Col J S Brar said the person shown in the video was a Pakistani terrorist. If you look closely,the terrorist had a grenade in his hand. He was trying to do something. After clearance of the debris we found more explosives and grenades surrounding him.

Sources said the lone policeman seen in the video-clip is a head constable of Special Operations Group of Jamp;K Police in Pulwama district and is called Doctor.

Sources added that the cellphone video-clip emanated from a village in Pulwama district where a policeman reportedly gave it to a friend who distributed it. Sources said the video-clip was shot immediately after an encounter between militants and a joint party of police and Army on July 8 at Bon Hanjin village in Pulwama district,and that the person killed was Pakistani militant Ahsan Bhai,a divisional commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Superintendent of Police,Pulwama,Amit Kumar said he had no knowledge of the video. I dont think it video can be of that encounter. Nothing of that sort was reported to me,not even unofficially.
