After an alleged militant was killed in a gunfight with security forces on Tuesday, the family of the deceased on Wednesday claimed that their son was lost in a fake encounter.
"He was called on the phone, the Army had arrested him earlier and then killed him in a fake encounter. It had been four days since he was missing.
