Shahwanaz, despite being a doctor had a great understanding of religion even as people who knew him, looked up to him as their role model, said his cousin Advocate Tariq. Photo: Mubashir Khan/ GK
“It felt like doomsday when we heard about his death, there is mourning in the whole village, every eye is moist today,” melancholic Tariq told Greater Kashmir.
He leaves behind his two sons and a daughter. Only four days back, he married off his daughter, and now this shattering news has left us yearning for him forever, Tariq said.
