Self-styled Hizbul Mujahideen divisional commander Reyaz Naikoo today appeared at the funeral of slain militant Shariq Ahmad at Awantipora in South Kashmir's Pulwama district.
A video has surfaced showing Naikoo, brandishing an AK- 47, addressing the people at the funeral of the slain militant. Earlier in the day, Shakir was killed in an encounter with the security forces in Tahab in the district.
According to an eyewitness, Naikoo appealed to the people "not to fall into the Al-Qaeda trap as it is defaming our freedom moment".
In the video, the militant commander is also seen raising pro-independence and pro-Pakistani slogans before leaving the place.
