On Tuesday, 14th July, the Indian Army intercepted a few militants who tried to sneak in through the LoC in the Mehndar Tehsil region of Jammu. Among them was Anwar Khan, known for the beheading of Lance Naik Hemraj in 2013. In the shootout that ensued, Khan was shot dead by the army.

Some respite for the family.

Anwar was said to be involved in a similar beheading case back in 1996 of an Indian Army Captain. Hemraj's family had also gone on a hunger strike demanding his severed head be returned to them. Though Anwar's death cannot bring back the martyrs, it can give some respite and relief to their friends and families.
