Two Kashmir brothers: One killed by rebels, another by army 26 years later

Rashid Ahmad Mughal, aged 32, was shot dead by the Indian army on March 31, 2026, after authorities claimed he was a rebel. This tragedy comes 26 years after his brother Ishfaq was killed by rebels in 2000. The Mughal family is still waiting for Ishfaq's remains to perform his last rites. Residents of Ganderbal dispute the army's official account, labeling Rashid's death as an extrajudicial execution.
