Shabir Ahmad Wani’s body was found at a distance from his home in the Shangus area. He was affiliated to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to a police officer, they rushed to the spot after receiving information about a body lying in the orchard. There was a visible head injury, the police said.
