Across Kashmir, they operated the same way as militants did. “Each group of 20 to 25 men was controlled by a commander. They shifted bases frequently and planned ambushes against militants. In coordination with the armed forces, they planned combing operations,” Dar says. But their reign is considered to be one of the worst in terms of human rights violations. While they killed militants, civilians and sympathisers were not spared either. In south Kashmir's Anantnag town, the free hand given to counter-insurgents triggered a new wave of militancy.

Aijaz Ahmad Turrey was killed in a precision strike by suspected militants along with an accomplice, Nisar Ahmad Mir, in Janglat Mandi market near his home in Anantnag. Turrey's wife, Rubi, was away in Amritsar for the treatment of her son, Irfan, who had lost his eyesight in an accident. On her return, Rubi learnt her husband had already been laid to rest in the graveyard. “A woman in a burqa (veil) came to their camp with the news that an IED had been planted in the market. The two rushed to the spot where militants shot them dead,” she says. Rubi's journey of grief began from the graveyard itself: there was no one to share her pain.

The taboo of being a renegade’s widow led to instant social boycott. Relatives, except for some close ones, stopped visiting. Feeling the hateful stares of neighbours, she caged herself in her home until another catastrophe struck. Her husband had bought a migrant Kashmiri Pandit's house through a middleman but died before the deal could be sealed. "We could not pay the dues and had to leave the house. For three months, we lived in a shed in my brother's house," says Habla, Aijaz's mother. The women say they sold their jewellery to buy the house they now live in, a brick and cement box with three rooms atop each other. Their story – like those of thousands of other such families – is part of a harsh but hidden reality of today’s Kashmir.
