In a deeply moving and tragic moment from the recent gunfight in Tral, Pulwama, a screen-recorded final video call between a mother and her militant son, Amir Nazir Wani, has surfaced—an emotional snapshot of love, defiance, and loss.

Amir, affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad, was among three militants killed in the fierce encounter with security forces. In the viral clip, his mother sobs and begs, “Beta, surrender kar do,” her voice heavy with dread. But Amir, holding his rifle, coldly replies, “Let the army come forward, then I’ll see,” rejecting the lifeline extended by his mother’s grief.

Security sources confirmed repeated surrender calls were made during the cordon-and-search operation that began early Thursday. The militants—Amir Nazir Wani, Asif Ahmed Sheikh, and Yawar Ahmad Bhat—refused all chances to lay down arms.

Drone footage captured eerie images of the trio hiding in a half-constructed building’s basement, rifles drawn, eyes darting in alertness. The final gunfight lasted hours. By the end, all three were dead—young men who chose militancy over family, ignoring tearful pleas for peace.

This video call, now widely circulated, serves as a chilling reminder of Kashmir’s relentless cycle of violence. A mother’s broken voice, a son’s hardened heart, and yet another household shattered—echoing the pain that countless families endure across the valley.
