Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in a tweet billed the police action on the protesting families as outrageous.”This is the naya Kashmir of 2021. This is how the J&K police fulfils @PMOIndia promise to remove “dil ki doori & Dilli se doori. It’s outrageous that the J&K administration did not allow the families to conduct a peaceful sit in protest”, Omar tweeted.Besides Bhat and Gul, a foreign militant and a resident of Gool in Jammu division’s Ramban district, Aamir Magray were also killed in the encounter, which took place in Srinagar’s Hyderpora area on Monday afternoon.Soon after the encounter, police said that Gul had given refuge to the militants, while Magray was working as Over Ground Worker.The police also said that both Bhat and Gul were killed in cross-firing.The families, however, contested the police claims, vouching for the innocence of their dead family members.”Why did you orphan my one-year old daughter? My husband was innocent and he had nothing to do with militants”, said Humaira, wife of Gul.Humaira said that if police proved that her husband was an OGW, she was ready to be killed along with her one-year old daughter.
