Description
Residents and students attend a vigil at the gates of Jamia Millia University in Delhi to pay homage to Pulitzer Prize-winning Indian photographer Danish Siddiqui.
The Reuters news agency photographer was killed Friday covering fighting between Afghan security forces and the Taliban near a border crossing with Pakistan.
"Danish was a people's journalist... He used to narrate the sorrow and pain of our times through his camera," said one resident.
His photos of protests in the neighbourhood against a controversial citizenship law last year were well-known among the residents here.
