After a video clip went viral showing him in an obscene pose with a girl, Qazi Yasir Ahmed was on Friday removed as the South Kashmir Mirwaiz and also sacked from the President's post of Tahqeeqat-e-Islami, a religious group.

Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, Patron of Tahqeeqat-e-Islami, announced the decision.

Qazi Yasir is the son of late Qazi Nisar Ahmad, who was killed by gunmen on June 14, 1996, in Dialgam village of Anantnag district.
