The troops of the Dogra ruler had killed the Kashmiris, one after another, outside Srinagar’s Central Jail during court proceedings against one Abdul Qadeer, who had asked the Kashmiri people to defy the despotic Dogra rule. It was time for Zuhr prayers when a young man started Adhaan but was shot dead by the ruler. Twenty two people sacrificed their lives till the completion of Adhaan.
