Abu Ismail and Abu Qasim alias Chota Qasim, both Pakistani nationals, were killed in a brief and crisp encounter at Aragam-Nowgam in the Srinagar outskirts on Friday.
Seemingly exposing Pakistan's terror factory, Jammu and Kashmir police have decided to formally write to the Ministry of Home Affairs to ask Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi to accept the bodies of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief operations commander Abu Ismail and his associate Abu Qasim so that they can be buried in their country of birth.
Abu Ismail and Abu Qasim alias Chota Qasim, both Pakistani nationals, were killed in a brief and crisp encounter at Aragam-Nowgam in the Srinagar outskirts on Friday. Abu Ismail was the prime accused in the Amarnath Yatra bus attack that left eight Yatris dead and 20 others injured at Botengoo in South Kashmir's Anantnag district on July 10.
"I will write to my police headquarters and request them to take up the matter with the Pakistan high commission through Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). They (Abu Ismail and Abu Qasim) are their people and they (Pakistan) should take their bodies," said Munir Ahmad Khan, Inspector General of Police, Kashmir Zone.
This is the second time that police will be writing to MHA to take up the issue of Pakistani terrorists' bodies with Pakistan high commission in New Delhi.
On August 1 J&K police had decided to write to MHA requesting them to take up the issue with Pakistan high commission so that body of LeT chief Abu Dujana could be handed over to them.
Abu Dujana, the 26-year-old Chief Operational Commander of LeT, who was the most wanted terrorist leader after the killing of Burhan Wani, was killed along with his associate Arif Nabi Dar in a swift surgical operation by the joint team of Army, Police and CRPF at Hakripora village of South Kashmir's Pulwama district on August 1.
"Let them refuse. We know where from they are? They are Pakistanis. Let them refuse but that does not matter. We will continue to write," said Khan.
Sources said bodies of both Abu Ismail and Abu Qasim have been buried in Baramulla district and they can be exhumed if Pakistan expresses readiness to accept their mortal remains.
"We will preserve their DNA and send their samples," said Dr SP Vaid, director general of police, Jammu and Kashmir.
