Raising the issue in the state Assembly, PDP member Khalil Bandh said, “His (Kamran Mudasir) death has resulted in disturbances in South Kashmir and the government must ensure measures in this regard…A thorough probe should be conducted.”
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah informed the House that the details of investigation conducted by the police in the case, have been shared with the family of the deceased. Intervening on a point raised by some legislators regarding the death, he said there are some elements in the report, which cannot be made public unless the family gives consent in this regard. “So, the government is not in a position to reveal the report in the House…If the family wants more probe or wants to reveal the details, I have no objections,” Omar said.
Mudasir a 29-year-old PhD student of English and Foreign Languages University, had committed suicide by hanging himself in his hostel room in the campus of Hyderabad-based Osmania University, which is housing EFLU, on March 2.
