3 nabbed in Kashmir over cleric murder
[Iran Press TV] Indian-administered Kashmire police say three people have been jugged in connection with the liquidation of Mohammedan holy man Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah."Three arrests have been made so far regarding this particular liquidation and other aspects of a larger conspiracy are also being looked into," Inspector General of Kashmire police Shiv Morari Sahai said on Sunday. Police also said that the plot to kill Maulana Shah was hatched by radical elements who do not want to see peace in Kashmire, a Press TV correspondent reported. The detentions come after a week of protests by thousands of people who shouted slogans against the killers and urged police to bring the perpetrators before justice. The protesters had vowed to continue the rallies until the assassins are jugged. Maulana was killed in an improvised bomb kaboom near a mosque in Srinagar on April 8 when he was going to the Friday prayers. The prominent leader was a well-known supporter of the separatist movement which seeks independence from India. Posted by: Fred 2011-04-18 |
