Kashmir Terror Archive | Remembering terror victim Ishrat Muneer Bhat and Mohmmad Yousuf Malik of Pulwama on their anniversary

Pulwama in South Kashmir has long carried the weight of gun violence. On 2nd January 1996, Mohmmad Yousuf Malik Son of Assadullah Malik of Wasoora, Pulwama was shot dead by terrorists, leaving his family in lifelong grief.

More than two decades later, tragedy struck again. On the night of 2nd January, 2019, a chilling video went viral in Kashmir, showing a young woman pleading for her life before being shot at point-blank range. The victim was later identified as 22 year old Ishrat Muneer Bhat Daughter of Muneer Ahmad Bhat of Dangerpora, Pulwama. Her bullet-riddled body was found the next morning in Sugan, Draggad village of Shopian, miles away from home.

She was killed by Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Riyaz Naikoo and group for believing in the idea of India.
