Pandit Sarwanand Koul who translated Shri Bhagwad Geeta into Kashmiri Verse was killed by putting nail on his head by Kashmiri Jihadis
Despite rise in the level of violence directed against the Pandits, he continued to live in his village, hoping that having been a teacher, who had taught nearly all the literate Muslims in the area, he had nothing to fear. But his hopes were belied and trust broken when
Muslim terrorists entered his house on April 28, 1990, and ordered all the members of his family to get assembled in one room alongwith all their ornaments, money, shawls and precious clothes. The family, sensing trouble, offered every precious item they had in their home to the killers. The militants first collected everything, including all the ornaments that the women of the house were putting on, by cruelly snatching these from them. The terrorists then destroyed his library; but that did not satisfy their thirst for blood. Stuffing their loot in one suitcase, Premi was ordered to carry it and follow them a small distance away from his house. The members of his family wailed and begged the terrorist to take everything but let go of the family patriarch. The killers assured them that he would return safe and unharmed. When the militants did not let go of Premi, his son, Virinder, insisted upon accompanying his old father. “If you wish you may also accompany him,” said the killers. That was the last the family members saw their beloved son and father.
For two days, the father-son duo was put to extreme torture. The spot where Premi would put his tilak mark was nailed. He was tortured by burning butts of cigarettes. The limbs of his body were broken. His eyes were gouged out. Finally on April 30, 1990, he was hanged from a tree and bullets were fired on him. His son, Virinder, was butchered in the same manner. Even by their own standards, the treatment meted out to Shri Premi and his son must put even the worst Muslim tyrant to shame.
