Controversies

In October 2018, one of Mir's security personnel who was later identified as a militant via Social media videos, fled with weapons including eight AK-47 rifles and one handgun at Jawahar Nagar Srinagar which was the official residence of the legislator.[5] Mir's car was also allegedly used by militants to carry out 2017 Amarnath Yatra attack.[6][7][8]
