'Kills us all': Mir Imtiyaz's family passionate open letter to terrorists
Srinagar, Oct 29: "You killed a man who loved Kashmir...come and kills us all," read a Monday social media post written by a family member of Mir Imtiyaz, the Jammu and Kashmir police sub-inspector who shot dead by terrorists in South Kashmir on Sunday.
In the "Open letter to the murderers of Sub Inspector Mir Imtiaz", posted on the slain police officer's Facebook page, the anonymous writer said that by killing the SI "you have killed a loving son of an aged mother, an obedient son of an old father."
"U killed a brother who was the only support of his brother and sister.. U killed every dream of a young girl whom he wanted to marry (sic)," the post read.
The post termed Mir as a devout Muslim who had excelled in his studies as well as profession.
"U killed a man who had suffistic thoughts... Someone who read sufism vastly... Who read Karl Marx and every other field of thought..U killed a man who topped his Masters batch... Who was among the toppers of his S I batch (sic).
"Most importantly you killed someone who loved his Kashmir and its people like anything.. Whose only wish was to see a happy Kashmir," the open letter read.
The writer said Mir was on his way to see his aged parents and "trouble-stricken" sister and referred to the niece of the deceased who has been since repeating that she is missing her "mammu" (mother's brother).
"But wen u killed him y didn't u kill us all.. Y didn't u kill his Mom Dad sister brother and the women whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life vd.. (sic)
"How can anyone console them...and we all just wanna ask his killers y did they not kill us all.. Plz come and kill us all... We can't live without him (sic)," the passionate letter said.
A peace votary, 30-year-old Mir was shot dead by militants at Wahibug in the militancy-infested Pulwama district of South Kashmir on Sunday afternoon when he was on his way home.
The desperation to see his parents prompted Mir to shave off his beard and change appearance in his unsuccessful attempt to dodge militants who had laid a death trap for him in his village, his colleagues said on Sunday.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
