SRINAGAR; 10, May 2013: Chairman of Hurriyat (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has called for a complete shutdown on the death anniversary of Moulvi Mohd Farooq on 21 May 2013. A call for Eid Gah Chall has also been given by the Hurrriyat Faction.
The killing of Mirwaiz Moulvi Farooq on May 21, 1990, had led to massive protests in the Valley. A month later, his then 17-year-old son Umar Farooq was appointed Mirwaiz.
On May 21, 1990, three insurgents entered Mirwaiz Moulvi Farooq's house and shot him. Molvi Farooq succumbed to his injuries at the Soura Hospital in Srinagar. The case was transferred to the CBI on June 11, 1990. Accused Abdul Rehman Shingan, alias Inayat, was arrested on September 20, 1990.
Shingan had confessed that he along with Mohammad Ayub Dar and Zahoor Ahmed entered Farooq's office armed with pistols and shot him. Shingan had died during the pendency of the trial. Accused Javed Ahmed, alias Ajmal Khan, and Zahoor Ahmed, alias Bilal, are absconding.
