Police said that the body of Mohammad Showkat Bajad, a resident of Rajouri who was currently living at Qazigund, was traced from Vaishaw Nallah at Mah in Kulgam
The villagers were quarantined in the aftermath of 16 deaths, including 13 children, between December 7 last year and January 19 this year from a ‘mysterious’ illness
Cops inspect pesticide and chemist shops in the area to investigate possibility of poisoning; investigations so far indicate that the deaths are not due to a communicable disease
