BJP Questions Omar, Farooq's 'Proximity' To Yusuf Mohammad

New Delhi, Oct 7: BJP today questioned Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his father union Minister Farooq’s “proximity” to National Conference party worker Syed Yousuf Mohammad who allegedly died in police custody.

Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley maintained the mystery behind Mohammad’s death—which has rocked the state for the last five days, will be solved by the authorities but the political aspect of the controversy is significant.

Mohammad was allegedly taking money from party leaders and others to get their work done. Omar maintains that Mohammad was handed over to the police after he came to know about his deeds and confronted him.

“The Chief Minister has himself said a probe is on and the truth will come out. But why did the father and son (Farooq and Omar) hobnob with an individual (Mohammad) who had the reputation of a middleman?” Jaitley said.
