Reopening of Pathribal case demanded

Srinagar: An organisation, seeking whereabouts of missing persons in Jammu and Kashmir, on Saturday staged a protest here against Army`s closure of Pathribal fake encounter case.
The Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) demanded re-opening of the case and punishment for the guilty.

"Our demand is that the Pathribal fake encounter case, in which five innocent Kashmiris were killed in 2000, should be re-opened," APDP chairperson Parveena Ahanger said.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the protest at the Press Colony, she demanded an impartial inquiry into the case.

"How can the Army probe the case fairly when its own men are involved in it," she said.
