Early Times Report
anantnag, Mar 30: Poverty and deprivation haunts the family of the SPO who was killed in militants firing in his dingy house while his wife was critically injured at Katso Wapzan villlage of Bijbehara in Anantnag District on Thursdayevening.
Mushtaq Ahmad Sheikh special police officer (SPO) and his wife Farida Akhter were fired upon by suspected militants. Sheikh succumbed to his injuries while Farida is still battling for life.
"You might have thought his house will be well built of concrete. This is his house, a tin shed with two rooms," a neighbour of Mushtaq said.
The makeshift tin shed has two rooms including a kitchen. Doors of the house are broken while blankets hang over the windows.
Mushtaq's family is in shock and not able to speak to anyone. The only thing that resonates in the tin shed are wails for the 'lost son' and his 'critical wife'.
His mother Janna Begam is yet unable to come to terms with what many mourners and neighbors called the 'shattering event'.
"They were struggling with life but were content. But today they have no room for mourners. They are shattered," neighbor commented while tears rolling down their cheeks.
Mushtaq lost his father in 2007. "He was the bread earner," neighbors say.
"The firing was indiscriminate. We heard some cries as we rushed towards the spot. The couple was in a pool of blood," neighbour narrated.
Mushtaq had joined the Jammu and Kashmir police in the year 2001 and presently was posted in Sangam Police post.
"His father put all the responsibilities on Mushtaq. He was struggling to make two ends meet," neighbours recall. "They even don't own any piece of land." His younger brother would do menial jobs in nearby areas to support the family. Mushtaq's two sisters are married. "He was very simple, honest and a hardworking man," said a cousin of Mushtaq.
