Srinagar police beat up scribe for wearing ‘funky clothes’

We have retracted all the articles by the author owing to the grave nature of unethical conduct detected in one of his stories: forging quotes; attributing them to people who do not exist; and furnishing his friends' phone numbers as the contact details of these imaginary sources in a bid to mislead our fact-checking process. The author has confessed to the transgressions in writing and refused to cooperate with further inquiry.
