Danish Siddiqui (19 May 1983 – 15 July 2021) was an Indian photo-journalist based in Mumbai, who used to head the national Reuters Multimedia team. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 2018, as part of the Reuters team, for documenting the Rohingya Refugee Crisis.
In 2021, he was shot dead while covering a clash between Afghan security forces and Taliban forces near a border crossing with Pakistan. Siddiqui started his career as a correspondent for Hindustan Times before shifting to the TV Today Network. He switched to photojournalism and joined Reuters as an intern in 2010. In 2018, he became the first Indian alongside Adnan Abidi to win the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography (as part of the Photography staff of Reuters) for documenting the Rohingya Refugee Crisis.
