A family in North Kashmir’s Sopore has alleged murder after their son’s body was discovered under suspicious circumstances in local orchards. The body of Mushtaq Ahmed Mir, son of Ghulam Rasool Mir, was found in Duroo orchards, prompting an investigation by local authorities. The deceased, leaving behind five children, went missing on Tuesday evening, leading his family to alert the police and initiate a search operation.

The family of the deceased, distraught by the tragic loss, expressed their anguish, with Mushtaq’s brother Mohammed Rafi denouncing the perpetrators as “beasts” and demanding justice. The body, after legal-medico formalities, was handed over to the family for the last rites.
