Tabassum, a Kashmiri nurse, was married to Afzal Guru, a co-conspirator of the 2001 Indian Parliament attack. |
Before their marriage, Tabassum and Afzal Guru were cousins. |
During an interview, Tabassum mentioned that Afzal affectionately called her 'Pyaari.' |
Tabassum and Afzal faced mistreatment from army officers near their home in Jammu and Kashmir. |
In an interview, Tabassum recounted an incident where they were attacked with stones by men in uniforms on their way home. |
After the incident, Afzal was deeply affected and had swallowed painkillers. |
Tabassum suspected Afzal's involvement in the attack but never confronted him about it. |
She questioned whether Afzal deserved the death penalty for his actions. |
Following Afzal's execution in 2013, the Indian government denied his family's request to claim his body. |
Tabassum's son, Ghalib Guru, refused to watch his father's execution if given the chance. |
Tabassum believed that the Indian government's actions surrounding Afzal's execution were shameful. |
Tabassum read out letters written by Afzal during his imprisonment in an interview. |
Even years after Afzal's execution, security forces would monitor Tabassum's house in Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir. |
Tabassum humorously invites security forces to her house despite their invasive checks. |
