Custodial Horror Exposes India’s Moral Collapse in IIOJK

Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) has once again witnessed an episode that tears away the last mask of India’s democracy and justice. The custodial torture of Muslim police constable Khursheed Ahmad Chohan, whose mutilated genitalia were delivered to a hospital in a plastic bag, has shocked even the Indian Supreme Court.

This is not just a crime against an individual; it is a brutal indictment of the entire machinery of occupation, where uniforms have become tools of terror.

This barbarity proves that India’s state structure in IIOJK now survives on fear, not law. It sends a message that the life and dignity of a Muslim in the valley mean nothing to the occupier. The world must now see that India’s democracy ends at the gates of IIOJK.

Brutality Beyond Imagination

According to the FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), DSP Aijaz Ahmad Naiko and five other officials tortured Khursheed for six days at the Joint Interrogation Centre in Kupwara. His wife’s complaint paints a scene of horror:

• Beaten with rods and sticks
• Given electric shocks
• Pepper forced into his body
• His private parts mutilated

This reflects a culture of impunity where police act as executioners. Torture has become the language of governance in IIOJK, replacing dialogue and justice. Every scream in those cells proves that this occupation survives only on blood and fear.

The details of this nightmare are a direct blow to India’s global image. If a Muslim constable is treated worse than a war prisoner, the world can imagine the terror faced by ordinary Kashmiris.

This is not an isolated act but the standard operating procedure of occupation, where fear is law and violence is governance.

India’s claim of being the “largest democracy” collapses under these facts. International human rights bodies cannot remain silent, as silence only strengthens this system of oppression.

Top Court Stunned, System Complicit

Even the Indian Supreme Court admitted that the mutilated genitalia brought in a plastic bag “shocked its conscience.” The apex court condemned the “brutal and inhuman custodial torture” and criticized the IIOJK High Court for failing to protect the victim’s life and dignity.

This exposes the hollowness of local courts under occupation. It proves that institutions built to protect justice have become silent spectators.

Words from the top court cannot erase the deep scars of a system built on fear and betrayal.

Yet, the system shields the powerful. Reports highlight that the SSP Kupwara, who approved the constable’s transfer and allegedly witnessed his ordeal, remains untouched.

This reflects selective accountability and the deep rot in India’s policing and justice system in IIOJK.

When senior officers escape justice, it confirms that cruelty is a state policy. Occupation does not punish its tools of oppression; it protects them as agents of fear.

If a Policeman Is Unsafe, What About Civilians?

This incident raises a painful question:

If a police constable can be tortured, mutilated, and humiliated by his own force, what safety exists for unarmed civilians?

The valley is now a place where even loyalty to the occupier cannot save a Muslim life. Civilians live under siege, knowing that prisons and interrogation centers are factories of pain.

This is the real face of occupation—where service or silence cannot protect you from oppression.

From midnight raids to fake encounters, IIOJK has become a laboratory of state oppression.
Laws like AFSPA and UAPA turn human lives into statistics of abuse.

The silent streets of IIOJK are not peaceful; they are frozen by fear.

India’s propaganda of “normalcy” is an insult to the valley’s trauma.

Children count raids instead of school days. Every empty street is proof of a people crushed by force yet unbroken in spirit.

Occupation’s Moral Bankruptcy

India spends billions on militarization while the people of IIOJK live in constant fear. This case is a verdict on India’s moral bankruptcy. The plastic bag with mutilated genitalia has become a symbol of Delhi’s lost humanity.

No state that mutilates its own can claim global respect. Delhi may hold summits and parades, but the world sees the blood beneath its boots.

A state that invests in torture instead of truth is already morally defeated.

No PR campaign or foreign visit can erase the image of a mutilated Muslim constable.
The real face of the occupier is a state where uniforms protect criminals and laws protect oppression.
Occupation can control land with guns but cannot win legitimacy.

Every barbed wire, every wail of a mother in IIOJK, is a charge sheet against India.

History does not forgive nations that trade humanity for hegemony. The plastic bag of shame will outlast any speech from Delhi.

Conclusion: A Valley That Will Not Forget

The story of Khursheed Ahmad Chohan will remain a scar on India’s conscience and a symbol of IIOJK’s suffering. It proves that occupation cannot coexist with dignity.

Every act of torture and custodial killing adds another line to India’s charge sheet in history.

The valley will not forget, and neither will the world.

Every survivor and martyr carries a story that will outlive the occupier.
India’s legacy in IIOJK will be written in the language of pain, not pride.

The plastic bag of shame is more than evidence; it is a verdict against an entire system.

IIOJK’s blood and tears will not fade, and history will remember the occupier for cruelty, not democracy.

In the end, occupation always loses because the human spirit cannot be mutilated like flesh.
The cries of IIOJK will echo in courts, in history books, and in the conscience of the world.
