  "account": "A local court in Srinagar denied bail and ordered the immediate arrest of Junaid Qureshi, the son of Ganga hijacker Hashim Qureshi, following an alleged attack on his father in a family dispute on September 3, 2026. Court officials noted that Hashim Qureshi, who gained notoriety for hijacking an Indian Airline in 1971, is currently in critical condition after sustaining a head injury. According to the court, Junaid Qureshi, who serves as the director of the European Foundation for South Asian Studies in Amsterdam, pushed his father, causing him to fall down the stairs and sustain a severe head injury. The court examined the case records and hospital reports, which clearly indicate that Hashim Qureshi remains in a critical condition within a Srinagar hospital.",
