Javed's relatives bury body

By Our Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD, JUNE 25. Javed Ghulam Sheikh, one of the four alleged terrorists killed in a police shootout on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on June 15, was buried here today.

Javed's father-in-law, Abdul Hamid Inamdar, and brother-in-law, Hafiz, reached here today to claim the body lying in the civil hospital morgue. But instead of taking it to Pune, they buried the body in the Shahibagh locality with the help of local people. Mr. Inamdar and his son declined to talk to the media on the shootout or on Javed's background.

Javed, believed to be a coordinator in India of the Pakistan-based terrorist organisation, Lashkar-e-Taiba, was driving the car in which the alleged terrorists were travelling from Mumbai. They were reportedly on a mission to assassinate the Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, when they were killed in an encounter with the Ahmedabad crime branch police in the early hours of June 15.

The bodies of the two Pakistani terrorists are still in the morgue while that of Ishrat Jahan Shamim Raza, was claimed by her mother, Shamima, last week.
