Indian photojournalist Danish Siddiqui, who was killed in July covering the Afghan war for Reuters news agency, has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize in the feature photography category for his reportage of Covid-19 in India.

Siddiqui, who worked with Reuters bureau in India and was on an assignment in Afghanistan, is among four Indians honoured with the prestigious award.

His colleagues, Adnan Abidi Sanna, Irshad Mattoo and Amit Dave have also been honoured with the coveted prize.

The Pulitzer committee, that awards achievers in newspaper, online and magazine journalism, literature and musical composition, announced the list of this year's winners on Monday.

They said they were moved by the “balanced intimacy” of the work of the photojournalists while covering the pandemic.

Mr Siddiqui was 38 when he was killed while covering clashes between Afghan troops and the Taliban in Spin Boldak district in Kandahar city, near the Pakistan border in July.

He was the chief photographer for the agency in the Indian bureau and had extensively covered global issues and crises, including wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hong Kong protests and Nepal earthquakes.

He was known for his investigative and impactful photography.

This is Mr Siddiqui’s second Pulitzer prize. He won the prestigious prize for feature photography in 2018 as part of the Reuters team for their coverage of the Rohingya crisis.

In March, his bereaved parents filed a complaint against the Taliban with the International Criminal Court and demanded a probe, saying their son died in a targeted killing .

Types of fraud

Phishing: Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.

Smishing: The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.

Vishing: The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.

SIM swap: Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.

Identity theft: Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.

Prize scams: Fraudsters claiming to be authorised representatives from well-known organisations (such as Etisalat, du, Dubai Shopping Festival, Expo2020, Lulu Hypermarket etc) contact victims to tell them they have won a cash prize and request them to share confidential banking details to transfer the prize money.
