Protests erupted in Ganderbal district, Jammu and Kashmir, on Friday, as residents demanded the release of a magisterial inquiry report into an encounter that occurred on April 1. The Army had reported the killing of a terrorist in the Arhama forest area, but the family of the deceased, Raashid Ahmad Mughal, contends that he was a civilian with no connections to militancy. Mughal, a resident of Chuntwaliwar village in Ganderbal's Lar area, was buried in a graveyard in Baramulla district designated for militants, further fueling public anger. The Lieutenant Governor-led administration's perceived lack of transparency regarding the inquiry has led to widespread protests, reflecting the community's demand for justice and accountability.
