In April 1990, Sarla Bhat, a Kashmiri Hindu woman was murdered after being tortured and reportedly raped by Muslim militants of the JKLF during the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. Originally from Anantnag, Bhat was 27 years of age in 1990 and served as a staff nurse at SKIMS in Srinagar. She was abducted on 15 April from her hostel in Srinagar, allegedly raped, tortured, killed, and her body mutilated by her captors, who accused her of being a "mukhbir". Her dead body was found on 19 April and handed-over the next day to her family in Anantnag, who were unable to provide an appropriate cremation due to threats by militants and a grenade attack on the family’s home. Her death caused panic in her mostly Hindu ancestral mohalla in Anantnag—which had been nearly emptied due to threats received during the then-ongoing exodus of Kashmiri Hindus—compelling all the remaining Hindu inhabitants there to flee. A police complaint was filed in 1990 but did not result in any proper investigation. In 2025, the special investigation agency of Jammu and Kashmir police reopened the investigation.
