According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement posted on social media, Mirwaiz said he was \u201cdeeply disturbed and pained\u201d by the news from Bhaderwah.<\/p>\n

The killing led to forceful protests, which was followed by internet shutdown across the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family in this tragedy that struck them and with his young and pregnant widow who joined the protests against the gruesome killing of her husband,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The APHC leader linked the incident to the recent killing of Rashid Ahmad Mughal in Ganderbal, saying such acts are \u201cagainst all norms of human and civil rights and law\u201d and \u201cdeepen fear and mistrust\u201d among the people.<\/p>\n

Mirwaiz called for immediate investigation into both incidents.<\/p>\n

Protests erupted in Bhaderwah following Arif Hussain\u2019s killing, and authorities subsequently imposed an internet shutdown in the district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
