One of its residents, 35-year-old Abdul Rehman Padder, was killed in a fake encounter by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in Ganderbal. A carpenter by profession, Padder was the sole earning member in a family of 12.
Says his mother, Sarah Gulam Rasool, "We have been left with no support. I had only one child."
Padder's wife Munira is at her wit's end. She doesn't know who will provide for her and her five young children.
"My son is one year old. Should I send him out to earn money?" asks the distraught wife.
The family's fight for survival is going to be tougher than ever before as relatives suspect that they might have to resort to begging to get one square meal a day.
To calm the rising anger, the J&K Police may have arrested a few of their own, but nobody is talking about rehabilitating the family of victims of fake encounters, most of whom are on the verge of starvation.
