Aamir’s mother Mubeena, in her 3.42-minute video, termed the SIT’s statement as completely baseless and said she would consume poison to end her life if her body was not given to the family for burial in five days.
Mubeena said, ‘They have killed my innocent son who was living as a laborer and they have made false allegations against him. They are doing this for their publicity. I have decided to kill myself by consuming poison if the body is not returned within five days. Those who accuse the government and my son will be responsible for my death.
She said, ‘I know my son because I have brought him up in extreme poverty. He was a humble boy and the whole village is mourning his death. They are not even allowing us to protest by deploying policemen.
Mubeena said that she is waiting for the return of the body after the encounter and wants to see her son for the last time.
Aamir’s father Mohammad Latif said that he would approach the High Court requesting the return of his son’s body.
“I completely reject the police investigation, as my son can never be a terrorist or his supporter,” he said.
Latif has received a state award in 2007 for killing a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist. Apart from this, he has also received many citations for helping the security forces to eliminate terrorism from his Gul-Sangaldan block.
Latif said that he is filing a petition in the High Court through advocate Deepika Singh Rajawat for the return of his son’s body.
Rajawat said that all formalities have been completed and he will petition the registry for the return of the body on Thursday morning.
