Kashmir Terrorism Jammu and Kashmir: Migrant labourer shot dead in Bandipora
Srinagar: A migrant labourer was shot dead in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said on Friday.
They said Amrej, 19, a resident of Madhepura Besarh Bihar was shot at from a close range by an unidentified militant at Sadunara Ajas in Bandipora during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.
"He was shifted to hospital where he succumbed," a police official said.
The incident took place at around 1 am.
The killing of a non-local took place a day after a senior police officer said all militants involved in target killings except one have been neutralised in different encounters.
“Except LeT’s terrorist Basit Dar of Kulgam who would be either arrested or neutralised in encounter at the earliest, all terrorists involved in target killings have been neutralised in different encounters,” Additional Director General of Police Vijay Kumar had said after the killing of top commander Lateef Rather and two of his associates.
