Little did they know that the wheel of fate would catapult in a way that they would have to mourn the death of their only hope before his admission in any school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muhammad Yaseen Bhat, a physical education teacher at a school in Bijbeheara in South Kashmir\u2019s Anantnag district, took his son Mehaan to market to buy clothes for him. \u201cI was in the market, and all of a sudden there was heavy firing. Everybody ran for cover, so did we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My son couldn\u2019t run, when I looked at him, I saw blood oozing from his right shoulder. I opened his shirt, I found he was hit by a bullet,\u201d Bhat told news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) in a broken voice, adding that \u201cI cried for help, and somehow managed to take my son to Sub district hospital Bijbehera, where after treating my son for a few minutes, doctors declared him dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said one bullet snatched his entire world. \u201cMehaan was my only son among three siblings. I have two daughters. He was my world, I lost my everything today,\u201d said Bhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shabir Ahmad Bhat, uncle of Mehaan said that his nephew insisted his father take him along to a market in Bijbehara. \u201cFather accepted his lone son&#8217;s request and they left for Bijbehara from Munchew area which is about 20 Kms from Bijbehara town,\u201d said Shabir adding that after over an hour, they heard that there was an attacked Bijbehara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe tried the phone number of Yaseen many times but he didn\u2019t respond. We thought that he would be busy in his office,\u201d said Shabir. \u201cAfter few minutes a photo of Mehaan in an injured condition went viral on social media, that is how we came to know about what actually had happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time, he said they got a call that Mehaan was no more. \u201cMehaan\u2019s mother fell unconscious and is dumbstruck not able to speak a word. She is a deep shock,\u201d said Shabir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that Mehaan who was the lone son of Yaseen was yet to take admission in school and has left behind his two elder sisters and parents. A CRPF man was also killed in the attack by militants where Mehaan sustained fatal injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The little Mehaan was laid to rest in his native village Munchew at around 4 Pm amid sobs and tears. Women could be seen wailing over the body of budding flower\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5-year-old was only son of parents among three siblings, family was planning to admit him in school this year, says uncle Srinagar: The family members of five-year old Mehaan were desperately waiting to see the end of Covid-19 pandemic to admit their lone son in a reputed school.
