NEW DELHI: Three skeletons have been found in a suspected mass grave inside an interrogation centre in held Kashmir. Police have taken over the complex, which was in use of the paramilitary forces from 1992 to 2005. A Srinagar-based news agency reported on Saturday that the grave was found inside the Gujjar Hostel complex in Anantnag town. The complex housed a joint camp of the Border Security Forces and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). It had earned notoriety in the area because it was used as a local interrogation centre. Former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed asked the forces to vacate the building last September, because the centre was replaced to by a school extension. But, due to the onset of winter the building could not be renovated. Recently when the Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation (JKPCC) started removing bunkers and other paraphernalia, they found the grave and unearthed three skeletons. Locals believe the grave could hold the bodies of people who disappeared in forces’ custody. The agency reported that there were many more graves in the courtyard of the building. Police have refused to file a case. iftikhar gilani
