SRINAGAR: The body of a local civilian killed in the November 10 terror blast near the Red Fort in Delhi reached his native village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district on Wednesday.
Bilal Ahmad Sagoo, a Kashmiri labourer belonging to Baba Nagri Wangat village in Ganderbal district, was killed when a terror conspirator, Dr Umar Nabi, exploded his explosive-laden i20 car near the Red Fort in Delhi, in which 13 civilians were killed and many others injured.
Bilal Ahmad Sagoo had moved to Delhi to work there as a labourer to support his poor family in the remote Baba Nagri Wangat village of the Valley.
MLA Kangan, Mian Mehr Ali, was among the people who received the body in Wangat village and attended the funeral of the unfortunate victim.
Speaking to the media in Baba Nagri Wangat, Mian Mehr Ali said that the poor villager was working as a labourer in Delhi to support his family.
“He was a poor man, and we have supported his family in the past and will continue to support them in the coming days. The chief minister, Omar Abdullah Sahib, has already requested the Central government to compensate the family of the poor Kashmiri. Omar Sahib has already said that every Kashmiri should not be viewed with suspicion, and the death of Bilal Ahmad Sagoo proves that Kashmiris are victims and not beneficiaries of terrorist acts, ” Mian Mehr Ali said.
