Name: Sarwanand Koul "Premi" and Virendra Koul
Father's Name: Gopi Nath Koul
Date of Birth: 9.6.1926/4.5.1962
Date of Assassination: 30.4.1990
Residence: Sofshalli, Anantnag

"Premi" was a poet and scholar. He stuck to his hamlet despite the rise in
terrorism. He had the psyche of a teacher in believing that he would
withstand the Islamic hurricane as he had taught every dog in and around the
belts of his village and hence could not be so ungrateful as to bite him to
death. But things proved otherwise. The terrorists entered his house on 28th
April, 1990 and ordered all the members of his family to get collected in
one room alongwith the ornaments and moneys, shawls and precious clothes.
Whatever precious they had in their home was offered to the
killers-cum-looters. The ornaments that the ladies were putting on were also
cruelly snatched. Stuffing their booties in one suitcase Premi was ordered
to carry it and follow them for a word just a small distance away from his
house. The members of his family wailed and moaned. The killers assured them
that he would return safe and unharmed. His son insisted upon accompanying
his old father. "If you wish, you may also accompany him", said the killers.
The treatment that was meted out to the father and his son can shame even
the worst Muslim tyrants. The spot where Premi would put his tilak mark was
nailed. He was tortured by burning bits of cigarettes. The limbs of his body
were broken. His eyes were gouged out. He was hanged from a tree and bullets
were fired on him. His son was put to the same orgy of torture and death.
