Re: Army turns the heat on separatists in Kashmir
Parents, Cops Tried For 6 Hours To Get Terrorist To Surrender. Then He Was Shot Dead
Rauf Khanday, believed to be a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, was killed in the pre-dawn darkness of Sunday at Dialgam village in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.

DIALGAM, JAMMU AND KASHMIR: "I tried everything possible to make him surrender. But every effort of mine was stonewalled by the young boy, who had been brainwashed," Senior Superintendent of Police, Anantnag, Altaf Ahmed Khan said.
It was a six-hour denouement that ended in a hail of bullets -- and a young man, barely out of his teens, dead inside a house surrounded by security personnel while his parents who had tried to talk him into surrendering waited nearby for news of the inevitable.
Rauf Khanday, believed to be a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist, was killed in the pre-dawn darkness of Sunday at Dialgam village in south Kashmir's Anantnag district. But he was not just another statistic, said officials present at the spot as the hours dragged on and he showed no signs of surrendering.
"It is always a tough call. I was pretty sure that the parents will be able to convince Khanday and he will come out and surrender. But destiny willed it otherwise," Mr Khan said.
Khanday, who had just passed his first year of graduation, was one of the two men holed up in a house in the village.
