The compensation of Rs 5 lakh deposited in my account by the Indian authorities “clearly shows my son was innocent”, said Latif Magray, father of Amir Magray who along with three other youth was killed by Indian forces’ personnel in Hyderpora area of Srinagar on November 15, 2021 after being dubbed militants.

However, after a protracted legal battle, the Magray family of Ramban district was on Sunday allowed by the court to visit the grave of their martyred son Amir Magray in Kupwara and offer special prayers.

Amir Magray was among four youth killed by Indian troops in a fake encounter in Hyderpora on the outskirts of Srinagar on November 15, 2021.

Police had claimed that they were militants and buried their bodies in a graveyard in Kupwara.

His father Mohammad Latif said the family feels relieved after offering prayers at the grave of their son.

The mere compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the family from the administration was termed by Latif as washing away the “blot of terrorism” on his head, which the observers interpret as an acknowledgment of the administration that the youth were innocent, and were, in fact, killed in the fake encounter.—KMS
