Indian army’s 35th RR held responsible for martyrdom of Advocate Jaleel Andrabi

 

Srinagar: Justice continues to elude the family of martyred human rights activist and lawyer Jaleel Andrabi, even after the passage of 30 years of his brutal killing in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

According to Kashmir24, Jaleel Andrabi was arrested on March 8, 1996, by Major Avtar Singh of the Indian Army’s 35th Rashtriya Rifles. Three weeks later, on March 27, 1996, his body was found floating in the Jhelum River near Padshahi Bagh in Srinagar.

A prominent advocate and human rights defender, Jaleel Andrabi was arrested and murdered for documenting rights violations committed by Indian troops in IIOJK. Until his death, he remained a vocal critic of the actions of Indian forces in the territory.
