Ladoora youth’s ‘murder’: Residents hit streets again

Srinagar: Protests broke out in Ladoora Rafiabad area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Friday over the “failure” of police to solve an alleged murder of a local youth.
Correspondent from North Kashmir said that hundreds of people, including women and children, blocked the Baramulla-Handwara road for nearly an hour after Friday prayers, demanding arrest of “killers” of Mohammad Yaseen Mir son of Ghulam Nabi Mir.
Yaseen had gone missing on March 2 when he left his home in Ladoora Rafiabad following a telephone call from an unidentified person. On March 25, his body was recovered from an under construction sewage tank of a local health centre, evoking massive protests in the area.
Locals say despite repeated assurances by the higher-ups to solve the case and bring the culprits to book, nothing has been done so far.
