Srinagar, Dec 2 (IBNS) Two policemen, including an officer, were arrested on Tuesday in connection with a five-year-old case of killing of a youngster, Wamiq Farooq, in the old city.

On December 1, Court of Forest Magistrate Srinagar B A Munshi  issued non-bailable arrest warrants against the two policeman- Assistant Sub-Inspector Abdul Khaliq Sofi and SPO Muhammad Akram for killing the 15-year-old boy.


On January 31, 2010, a tear smoke shell fired by the police had killed the Class seven student, who according to his family, was on his way to attend tuition classes. The death of the student sparked series of protests in the Valley.


Both the cops surrendered before the Court on Tuesday after which the Court shifted them to Srinagar Central Jail.


In 2013, Chief Judicial Magistrate Srinagar had issued non-bailable arrest warrants against the two  on the basis of a judicial inquiry and police probe. The prima-facie guilt of the accused was established.


   On August 22,  2013 the CJM directed the IGP Kashmir to get non-bailable warrants executed for the arrest of the accused, as they were found involved in the commission of offence of Culpable Homicide not amounting to murder under section 299 RPC.


    A criminal complaint was filed by the complainant against the accused cops on February 11, 2010 and a report in response to the complaint was submitted by SSP Srinagar on February 19. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar, on May 11, 2010  ordered Magisterial enquiry into the death of the student, Wamiq.


    After receiving the inquiry report, the CJM  directed IGP Kashmir to constitute a special investigation team and also arrest and interrogate the accused persons.
