Following it, Mufti led a protest along with PDP activists in Jammu against the civilian’s killings on Wednesday, demanding the authorities to hand the bodies of the deceased to their families.
The PDP chief claimed that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) has been in force and thus, there was no accountability for the killing of the innocents.

As per reports, Pakistani terrorist, his local associate Mohammad Amir, and two civilians– Altaf Bhat and Mudassir Gul – were killed in the encounter in Hyderpora locality.
