Said father Padroo: “My son worked as a carpenter for years in Srinagar but didn’t help us with money. Recently, I asked him why and he said he had paid (Constable Farooq, who is also a distant relative) Rs 75,000 to help him get a government job. He was pushing Farooq to return the money after he failed to deliver on his promise.”
Sources said Farooq worked closely with SSP Hansraj Parihar, the officer who was attached after the expose. Farooq is said to have told investigators that he brought carpenter Abdul Rahman to Ganderbal Police after he was asked that “they needed a kill’’ in Ganderbal as “operations have dried up’’.
