SRINAGAR: The Jammu & Kashmir government has forwarded the request of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru's family to the Centre seeking the return of his body for burial in their village near Sopore in north Kashmir.
Sources said that the Centre may consider the request. They said chief minister Omar Abdullah, who had made a similar request earlier, would be called for consultations with Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde and other top officials over the matter in New Delhi next week.
J&K commissioner (home) Suresh Kumar told TOI that the state government had forwarded the Guru family's request to Union home secretary R K Singh.
Guru's widow, Tabbasum, had written to Baramulla deputy commissioner Ghulam Mohammad Khawaja seeking the state government help for the return of the body a day after he was executed and buried inside New Delhi's Tihar jail.
His cousin Yousuf Guru said Tabbasum has received her request's acknowledgement.
