Following the killing of an 'intruder' inside the residence of MP and NC president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday, the Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered the constitution of a security committee to review security of all protected persons in the state. The government has also ordered a magisterial inquiry into the killing of the intruder on August 4.
The committee will be headed by additional director (General Security), Jammu and Kashmir Police. The committee will review the security of all protected persons in the state including separatists like Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and give a report to the government.
The government has also ordered a magisterial inquiry into the killing of the 'intruder', Syed Murfad Shah (25), of Bantalab inside the residence of Farooq at Bathindi in Jammu after his family raised doubts about his killing.
The magisterial inquiry into the killing of the intruder has been ordered by district magistrate of Jammu Ramesh Kumar.
Kumar appointed sub-divisional magistrate of Jammu Iyas Khan as inquiry officer and asked him to complete the inquiry into the killing of the intruder in ''three weeks positively''.
Police said Shah had rammed his car into the entrance of the residence of Farooq and then barged in and ransacked the house. The security forces then shot Shah dead.
Shah's family later reached the spot and protested against his killing.
Shah's family hails from Gulhata in Poonch. The family runs a gun business. The police is trying to ascertain why Shah had gone to Farooq's residence. So far, there has been no breakthrough in the investigation.
Farooq's son, Omar Abdullah, who shares the Bathindi residence with his father, said in a tweet that he was aware of the incident and was trying to find out the details. Farooq was not home when the incident happened.
