Kashmir families demand answers for ‘unaccounted for’ deaths

Posted on by

Three deaths have been claimed by Kashmiri familes since New Dehli imposed a massive security and communications lockdown on the region

Rafiq Shagu’s wife died shortly after Friday prayers in India’s Muslim-majority Kashmir when tear gas smashed through a window in their home and filled the room.


Now, with Indian authorities denying their troops have caused any civilian deaths while enforcing a lockdown of more than two weeks in the Himalayan region, he is facing what may be a futile quest to hold those responsible to account.


“They (the police) are not ready to take responsibility for the death. We want answers but I don’t know where to seek justice,” Shagu said.
