CRPF men detain, beat up 5 yr old for 'harassment'
Shabir Ibn Yusuf

SRINAGAR, Aug 28: A 5 year old boy was picked up and brutally thrashed by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in Batamaloo for what the security men said 'harassment' by the young boy.
Despite the repeated pleas of the people in the locality, the CRPF men refused to let go the boy who was detained in a security bunker and whose screams were audible in the area. It was only after the intervention of Deputy Inspector General (DIG) that his troopers released the 5 year boy from Batamaloo.
The boy had been severely beaten for defying curfew. CRPF maintained that the boy was harassing the troopers.
Some residents of Batamaloo called up Kashmir Times and informed that the troopers of CRPF, enforcing curfew in the area, picked up a 5 year old boy this afternoon while he was venturing in the bus stand area of Batamaloo.
The caller said the troopers were beating the boy severely. "He was screaming that they will kill him," the caller told Kashmir Times. "If they will not release him, we will defy curfew and attack the CRPF bunker where from we can hear the screams of the boy," the caller added.
Kashmir Times called upon DIG of CRPF MP Nathiel and reported the incident. He rushed to the spot and rescued the boy. "I reached Batamaloo and found that my troopers had detained the boy " Nathiel told Kashmir Times from the spot adding, "He used to throw stones at our troopers and harass them."
DIG said that he asked the Commanding Officer of the CRPF unit in the area to drop the boy at his home. "I thank you people for informing me. Otherwise situation would have turned something different," the officer added.

How disgraceful….I don’t have any words …the thing I was not able to understand is, Can a 5yr old harass CRPF personnel, who I believe are so fearful that even elders dear not to say anything to them. I still remember Tara Singh a CRPF personnel who had huge moustaches’ used to guard Bakshi Stadium and I used to accompany my friend at his departmental store, where I met this huge around 6.2” tall black and really fearful looks, such fearful that dogs would not bark at him, I am not saying this as to show my anger but what I know and had seen. Talking to him once I said why he doesn’t shave off his moustaches as he will look good without them. I can never forget his answer, he said “I m paid extra money for this fearful look.” Now that’s what I remembered when I go through this news. Now you tell me Can a 5yr old harass CRPF?

Its almost half past twelve in the night and I was going through the greater Kashmir newspaper as this is the best newspaper I find in these days to get updates about my beautiful and most missed homeland. Its here I came across this news about Ghulam Mohammad Shah the way he is living and the way he used to live at one point of his life. It really put me into pieces to think what life he would be living in this world where people even charge to pray. Whenever, I used to read the newspaper my heart would get filled with the pain with every death I read, and I don’t remember any day when I had not read about someone dying somewhere, the best one was the day, when I, actually didn’t find anyone reported dead in the newspaper and then someone whispered in my ears, a dead body has been recovered from Jehlum, Here I go.
I don’t know why I am writing this, what after so many years had struck and shaken my heart to the extent that my fingers had revolted against me and started typing. May be another news, five people killed in a grenade attack near batamaloo, or may be a series of seven blasts shocking IT capital of India. It’s not this actually which makes me to shiver and shudder but then the thought that my entire family is there. I use to think, after paying such a huge price around one lakh people dying for the cause, I could not give it up and should rather do something to help my brothers and sisters. But then aren’t we subjecting those people to the pain as well who haven’t yet felt it until their nails or those who are already mourning over their beloved, aren’t we asking our sisters to sacrifice their other brother as well for the cause, aren’t we asking that mother to give up her second son in this noble path who has already lost one, aren’t we asking that father to lose the hopes for his son, of making his an engineer and a doctor, aren’t we asking that wife to get used to live without her husband.
I confess I don’t need Pakistan. I confess I don’t need India and herby I confess I don’t need even freedom, I want peace tell me where to and how to get it .and if the answer is revolution then I ask “Isn’t it possible we revolt without ammunition, without guns and grenades, without paying more in blood”
