The Man-Eater of Kargil? A Forgotten 1964 Story

Hidden in an old newspaper archive lies one of Kargil’s most unusual forgotten stories. Recounted by former Circle Inspector D P Sharma and published in Daily Excelsior in 2000, the account revisits a disturbing investigation from 1964 that stayed with the officer for decades. Preserved by Kashmir Rechords, the story opens a rare window into policing, memory and the mysteries that once travelled silently through the mountains of Kargil.
