Slain Indian photojournalist Danish Siddiqui was posthumously awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in feature photography on May 9. This was Danish's second Pulitzer win for his outstanding work in journalism; he had also received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for documenting the Rohingya refugee crisis.

According to the Pulitzer Prize's website, Reuters photojournalist Danish and his colleagues, Adnan Abidi, Sanna Irshad Mattoo and Amit Dave, were together awarded for the 'images of Covid’s toll in India that balanced intimacy and devastation, while offering viewers a heightened sense of place'.
