Pertinently, on 7 June this month, a woman namely Shaheena area of Khumna Baharabad area of Bandipora died at a local hospital in Bandipora. She was buried at her native graveyard.

After her death, the family emerged in Press Enclave Srinagar and staged a protest demanding exhumation and post-mortem of the deceased woman who died in the house of her in-laws of North Kashmir’s Bandipora district.

Tosha Begum, the mother of the deceased woman told a local news agency: “My daughter was married to a man Muhamamd Shafi Sheikh of Gund Jahangir. Both had three children. She died recently and we believed it was a natural death. A couple of days back, the son of my deceased daughter while cleaning the room found an ‘Out Patient Card’ of Community Health Centre Sumbal that belonged to my deceased daughter. The card revealed that my daughter had consumed insecticide and doctors had advised her husband to refer her to Srinagar hospital for stomach wash.”

She said instead of referring her to Srinagar hospital her husband took her to home where she died.
