Mohammad Lateef Magray, father of the deceased Aamir, had approached the high court in December 2021, seeking the mortal remains of his son.

By Saifullah Bashir SRINAGAR: The enquiry in the controversial Hyderpora killings is still not complete even though the first deadline is already over. The families are desperate for justice.
Hours before the security grid declared the Hyderpora ‘encounter’ over, a couple of tweets by a slain builder’s relative pushed Kashmir to an edge, triggering a quick systematic rethink that led to the return of mortal remains of two slain and a probe by a magistrate.
Since 2008, 108 magisterial probes have been ordered in Kashmir in the aftermath of violent incidents. However, none of those reports have been made public, and not a single person has been convicted.
