Following his death, there have been reports of insensitivity in handling the situation: his family reportedly had to navigate bureaucratic hurdles (“run from pillar to post”), and his body was transported in a load carrier vehicle instead of an ambulance. This has drawn criticism for being inhumane.
Prominent political figure Mehbooba Mufti (former Chief Minister of J&K and President of JKPDP) highlighted the case on X, calling it shameful and urging Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to ensure the mortal remains are brought back home with dignity for last rites.
