Mehbooba recently met the family of Nazir Ahmad Wani in Bello, Pulwama, where she "witnessed first-hand the painful consequences of such actions." Describing Wani's condition, Mehbooba said he was a "dedicated tehsildar" who faced dismissal under Article 311, arrest under the UAPA and "many years in prison, after which the courts finally acquitted him of all charges." He also suffered serious health ailments, which led to his death of a heart attack on October 27, 2024. Mehbooba said his bereaved family - which includes his wife and five children - are inconsolable. The victim's family is now facing difficulties in getting their pension and other benefits.
