A civilian was killed after being hit by a vehicle during protests by residents of downtown area in Srinagar.Locals alleged that a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) vehicle ran over Adil Ahmed Yadoo. However, Rakesh Yadav, PRO CRPF, refuted the allegation that the civilian was hit by a vehicle of the force.”There was no CRPF vehicle in the area and the allegation is baseless,” Yadav said. “A medical bulletin suggests that the person died due to a crush injury in a road traffic accident. Citizens may not pay heed to rumors,” police said in a statement.
However, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has tweeted a video of the incident apparently shot by a civilian on a mobile PHONE, showing the youth getting run over by a JKP VEHICLE. The video has since then gone viral on the internet. Govt. is yet to clarify on the issue and the authenticity of the video.
