Former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday (July 31, 2025) visited the residence of a 21-year-old Gujjar youth who was killed during a police shoot-out in Satwari, Jammu and condemned his “cold blooded murder.”

“Mohammad Parvez was executed in a fake encounter by those meant to protect him. This is state-sponsored terror targeting the Gujjar-Bakerwal community. I demand a time-bound judicial probe to expose the culprits and ensure justice,” Ms. Mufti said.
