Daughter recalls father's abduction and death in Kashmir

Nimrat Kaur has opened up about the traumatic loss of her father, Major Bhupendra Singh, describing the harrowing circumstances surrounding his death during the militant insurgency in Kashmir three decades ago.

Major Singh was abducted by terrorist groups operating in Kashmir in 1994 and subsequently killed. The incident left a lasting impact on his family, with Kaur having been only 11 years old at the time of his death.

Kaur's account brings fresh attention to the experiences of military families who lost loved ones during the prolonged conflict in the region. The Kashmir insurgency of the 1990s claimed thousands of lives, including security personnel and civilians caught in the crossfire.

Her recollection serves as a personal testimony to the human cost of militancy that affected numerous households across India. The experiences of families bereaved by terrorism remain an important part of the historical record of conflict in Jammu and Kashmir.
