A doctor, who accompanied the Bandipora firing victims in the ambulance has revealed that CRPF personnel indiscriminately fired towards the vehicle.
Dr Asif Iqbal said he and his colleague Dr Parvaiz Khalid accompanied four injured persons to SMHS hospital. “When we reached Paripmpora, thousands of people were on roads and few were injured during clashes with cops. “We carried some of the injured in the ambulance and were rushing towards SMHS,” he said.
The doctor, who works in SMHS hospital, alleged that CRPF personnel fired bullets and tear gas shells towards the ambulance, injuring the driver. “The tear smoke shells hit his face and he alongwith other injured cried in pain while the CRPF personnel continued to target the ambulance. The women of the area after hearing screams of the injured rushed towards ambulance and rescued all the injured. One of the injured, Mehraj-ud-Din Khan succumbed to injuries in the ambulance. The protestors tried to make way for the ambulance so that the injured could be shifted to hospital,” he said.
The doctor said that the protestors including women were beaten by the CRPF personnel.
"When we contacted district Administration, they warned us not to inform anybody about the brutality done by CRPF. We remained silent and waited for further orders which were against our emotions," said Dr. Asif.
“This is the worst brutal and cowardly act that I have seen in my career,” he added.
