Srinagar terrorist attack
Man shot dead after terrorists open fire in Srinagar shop, second attack in 24 hrs
Srinagar/IBNS: A man was shot dead as terrorists opened fire inside a shop in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar on Monday.
The injured has been identified as Mohammad Ibrahim, who worked as a salesperson at the shop.
Soon after the shooting, he was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition but was declared dead.
According to reports, the owner of the shop is a Kashmiri Pandit. The shop was re-opened in early 2019 after remaining closed for 29 years.
Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah, in a tweet, said, "The dastardly killing of Ibrahim is reprehensible & I unreservedly condemn it. Unfortunately Ibrahim is the latest in a series of targeted killings in the valley, especially Srinagar. May Allah grant him place in Jannat."
