Jammu and Kashmir Police asks Pakistan High Commission to claim Abu Dujana’s body, says parents should see son before burial

5This is for the first time the authorities have approached the Pakistan High Commission asking them to claim the body of any Pakistani national killed in anti-militancy operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Police will approach the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi and ask them to claim the body of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Abu Dujana, who was gunned down by the security forces on Tuesday.
This is for the first time the authorities will approach the Pakistan High Commission asking them to claim the body of any Pakistani national killed in anti-militancy operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
Dujana belonged to Gilgit-Baltistan area in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir, Munir Khan, had told reporters on Tuesday: “If they don`t claim his body, we will give him a proper burial”.
Khan added that the authorities wished Dujana`s parents should see their son before burial and for that reason, the Pakistan High Commission had been approached.
Police refused to hand over Dujana`s body to the civilians for burial. The senior police officer said: “There was no reason to hand over the body of somebody to locals who did not belong to the Kashmir Valley”.
Meanwhile, hundreds of mourners attended the burial of the other LeT militant Arif Lalihaari killed on Tuesday with Abu Dujana in Hakripora village.
Arif was buried in his native Lalihaar village of Pulwama district on Tuesday evening.
