‘Army informer killed Irfan’ Army equally responsible for the crime: Lone SmallerDefaultLarger Srinagar, July 3: In a startling revelation, the Minister for Higher Education Minister Muhammad Akbar Lone Wednesday said it was an informer of the Army, Manzoor Ahmed Shiekh, who showered bullets on Irfan Ahmed Ganie and killed him in cold blood at Markandal during the intervening night of Saturday/Sunday. “We hold Army responsible because it did not inform local police and laid a cordon at the behest of their ‘source’ Manzoor Shiekh,” Lone told local news gathering agency CNS on the sidelines of a function at SP College in Srinagar on Wednesday. He said it is a fact that “Manzoor used Army for his nefarious designs as few days back the Army source had a brawl with the neighbours of the Irfan.” “Army is equally responsible for this killing. First the Army equipped their Source with weapon and when people started shouting ‘chor, chor, chor’ (thief), this Manzoor pumped bullets into the body of Irfan and killed him instantly,” Lone said adding that Army violated all norms by not informing local police that are going to lay a siege around Markundal, Sumbal. Appealing people to repose trust and faith in Investigating Agency probing the killing of two youth, Lone said that guilty would be taken to task. “The Government has already registered a murder case under section 302 and the person who was working as a source for Army has been arrested. The vehicles used for the crime have already been seized,” he told CNS. He said the matter is very serious and the police have already approached the General Officer Commanding 15 Corpus Gurmeet singh in this regard. “We assure people that there would be free and fair investigation and culprits would be booked at any cost. We are concerned about the reaction of people but our job is to go for a free and fair probe,” Lone said adding that we are ready to entrust the case to any agency which people like
