Violent crackdown and heavy firing by Pakistani Rangers and Frontier Corps (FC) continue unabated in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
At 1:00 PM yesterday near Chinar Chowk, two Pakistani Rangers personnel sprinted toward a gathering of civilians in nearby fields and opened indiscriminate firing at point-blank range.
Usman Nazir, the brother of one of the key organisers of the protest, Umar Nazir, was shot dead by Pakistani Rangers during Monday’s firing.
Farooq Sudhan, a former terror commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, is also critically injured in the Rangers' firing.
Claiming these protesters are armed, Sanaullah declared that the ongoing military and police action against them is fully justified.
