In a statement released a few days ago, TeH had alleged that Mir was receiving life threats over the phone, reported Greater Kashmir. “Since last one month some unknown people [were] suspiciously roaming around his house and at times knocking the doors and windows and inquiring about Mir Hafizullah that makes the whole family frightened,” a spokesman of TeH had said. Further details are awaited.
