Poonch killer was bumped off for besmirching gunnies' reputation
Nazim Khan, the man who slaughtered 11 people in Poonch, including a six-month old boy, had been sacked from the police force in 2001 over his links with local militants in Kashmir. Police believe the man was killed - painfully - by local militants for having besmirched their reputation in carrying out the massacre for personal vengeance. Police had initially blamed militants for the massacre, but Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, was later quoted as saying that it was the result of a family feud.
Takes a lot to besmirch the reputation of bloodthirsty crazed killers, but he managed to do it.
