Srinagar: Among some 100 people rescued by security forces when terrorists attacked a government complex in Jammu and Kashmir's Pampore last week was the son of Syed Salahuddin, the chief of the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen.
Six people including three soldiers died in the attack on the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) complex in Pampore, 16 km from Srinagar. Three terrorists were killed in a gun battle that lasted nearly three days.
Salahuddin's son Syed Mueed was trapped in the EDI office, where he works as IT manager, when the terrorists struck on Saturday. Security personnel had to clear three buildings, floor by floor, as the terrorists used them as a concrete bunker, firing from there.
"I was not questioned by anybody. I'm like any other employee and free citizen of this state. Why is my name unnecessarily being linked with my father after this attack?" he said to NDTV.
The encounter ended on Monday evening as the nation paid tribute to the soldiers who died fighting terrorists while protecting many trapped civilians.
All his sons have distanced themselves from their father's activities. His other sons are a doctor and a medical assistant.
Mr Dulat has said in his book that the Intelligence Bureau in Srinagar had received a call from Salahuddin requesting help in getting one of his sons enrolled in a medical college.
