Sheikh is believed to be operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and is on the security forces’ most-wanted list in the Valley. He has allegedly ordered attacks on non-local labourers. The event recalled 2021, when Muzaffar Wani, father of slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, unfurled the national flag at a government school. Independence Day events were held peacefully across Jammu and Kashmir.
