Molvi Mushtaq Ahmad (died 7 June 2004) was a Kashmiri politician who was shot in the back by an unknown gunman while he was praying in a mosque. He succumbed to his injuries nine days later.[1]
He is known as "Shaheed-e-Masjid"[2] for being assassinated in a mosque.
Life
editMushtaq had been active politically from an early age with his relative Mohammad Farooq Shah, the Mirwaiz at the time. He helped form the J&K Awami Action Committee, a political organization that sought the resolution of the Kashmir conflict.
Death
editOn 29 May 2004, while praying in a local mosque in Srinagar, an unknown gunman approached him from behind and shot him. He had been surrounded by around 25 people, leading to speculations that this had been a targeted killing. Some speculated his death was an indirect message to his cousin, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq who had in the days leading up to the shooting been trying to engage with India for the resolution of the Kashmir conflict.
No one has been yet convicted for his death.
