For mourners at Supinder’s residence, the news of the 46-year-old school principal’s killing by suspected militants on Thursday came as a shock. Before going to school in the morning, Deepak had called his wife on her cellphone. Earlier in the day, a stream of political leaders, including LG Manoj Sinha and former CMs Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti visited Supinder’s Srinagar home. In Jammu, normal work in courts remained suspended as lawyers abstained following a call by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court Bar Association. The Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry along with various trader associations held demonstration against killings.
