The 1998 Prankote massacre was the beheading of 26 Hindus in the villages of Prankote and Dakikote in Udhampur district (now in Reasi district) of Jammu and Kashmir on 17 April 1998.[1]
Aftermath
It took 10 hours for news to reach the authorities and security forces reached only after a day.[2][3] Then Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said "This a shocking incident. I have seen tragedies earlier, but this was bloodcurdling. No bullets were fired, the villagers were butchered."[4]
The massacre led forced migration of nearly 1,000 people to Reasi, Pouni Thanpal, Chasana and other towns of the district.[5]
In April 2008, the mastermind of this attack - Abdul Haque alias Jahangir, a Islamic terrorist belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen, was killed in an encounter with Indian security forces.[6]
