Mir, a Road Supervisor in Roads and Buildings Department, had left his home for duty on July 16 when he was confronted by police who were travelling in two Rakshak vehicles from main market of Kalaroos, said his son Hafizullah Mir, who is a constable in Central Reserve Police Force, presently posted in Bandipora district of north Kashmir.
Hafizullah said, “One of the policemen from a Rakshak vehicle directly aimed at my father and fired teargas shell at him, leaving him critically injured.”
Mir was rushed to Srinagar’s SMHS hospital for treatment where he battled for life for four days before he succumbed.
“I was posted in Sumbal in Bandipora when my father was hit. For four days I attended to my father at the hospital, praying for his recovery. My father had been left badly injured after he was hit directly with the teargas canister in the head,” said Hafeez.
Following Mir’s killing, the family has been repeatedly knocking the doors of the police authorities in the district seeking registration of a case into the killing. “But nobody listens to us. My father was killed while he was out on duty. What was his crime?” asked another son of Mir.
Mir is survived by his wife, three sons and two daughters. “Why was he killed and why is police refusing to register case into his killing,” asked Hafizullah. “There is no hand of CRPF or Army in the killing of my father. Instead it is the police which is responsible for my father’s death,” he said.
He said the family was waiting to hear from the police about the action they intend to take into the case. “We will knock the doors of the court if police doesn’t take any action. We will go to any extent to seek justice,” said Mir’s son.

While State Government has been warning its employees to attend their duties, 52-year old Haji Ghulam Muhammad Mir of Kalaroos in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district lost his life on duty when hit by a teargas shell fired by police last month.
Mir, a Road Supervisor in Roads and Buildings Department, had left his home for duty on July 16 when he was confronted by police who were travelling in two Rakshak vehicles from main market of Kalaroos, said his son Hafizullah Mir, who is a constable in Central Reserve Police Force, presently posted in Bandipora district of north Kashmir.
