A distraught father’s quest to persuade his terrorist son to renounce violence and return home ended on a tragic note on Monday when he was killed in an encounter with the security forces at Hakoora village of South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.

Mohammad Eisa Fazili, a BTech dropout, was among three terrorists killed at Hakoora village on Sunday night.  Soon after Eisa joined terrorist ranks last year, his father Naeem Fazili had written an emotional post on Facebook, urging his son to return. Though he deleted the post later, it had gone viral by then.

“Eisa, your innocence is being exploited by some vested interests. You are being used as a pawn or a poster boy. I swear you are not on the right track in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Please don’t play with fire. Return as early as possible. Your mum is wandering hither and thither with your belongings in hands. Mind it, one can never succeed in absence of prayers of his parents,” Naeem Fazili wrote on Facebook.

Even on Monday morning, Naeem took to Facebook again informing people about the death of his son. Later, he posted the timing of the funeral prayers on social media.

“It is for the information of all nears and dears that Nimaaz e Jinaaza (pre-burial prayers) of my son Mohammad Eisa Fazili who left for heavenly abode today will be held at 3pm sharp near his residence at Sharjah Ground, 90 Feet Road, Ahmednagar, Srinagar” Naeem said.

The 24-year-old Eisa was a student of BTech at Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University in Rajouri, when he dropped out to join terrorist ranks in Kashmir last year.

Police records show Eisa had joined Tehreek-ul-Mujhadeen. Coming from an affluent family, Eisa’s father is principal of a government higher secondary school. Soon after he became a terrorist, he had posted a video on social networking sites preaching Jihad.

Police sources said Eisa was involved in an attack on a police post at residence of moderate Hurriyat leader Fazal Haq Qureshi on February 25.
