The case against two policemen accused in the killing of 13-year-old Wamiq Farooq in Srinagar in 2010 staggered to a halt with the revocation of Article 370 and the pandemic, but his family has said they will continue their fight.
Wamiq Farooq had just topped his Class 6 examination and was set to resume school in the spring of 2010. Sundays were the only days when the 13-year-old would get some time off his studious routine to play some cricket. On January 31, 2010, after offering noon-time prayers at a mosque and eating lunch with his family, Wamiq tucked a cricket ball into his pocket, waved to his mother through the window and left. He never returned.
