SRINAGAR, Jan 22: Former Director General of Police (DGP) Dr S P Vaid today said Hizb militant Shamsul Haq met a “sad end” despite efforts by his IPS officer brother to bring him back.
Taking to Twitter soon after the news of his killing in Shopian encounter started doing the rounds, Vaid, who was the Director General of Police in J&K when Haq turned to militancy, said, “I remember the efforts that were made by his (Haq’s) brother/other family members and J&K police to bring him back to mainstream but he met a sad end today.”
Haq, brother of IPS officer Inam ul Haq, was killed along with his two associates in a gunfight in Shirmal village of Shopian. An army soldier was wounded in the gunfight.
