Bandipora

A skill worker from Bihar was fired upon by terrorists at Soadnara Sumbal in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora district on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, following which he succumbed to his injuries, police said.

The deceased labourer was identified as Mohd Amrez, hailing from Bihar's Madhepura. Soon after being shot, he was shifted to the hospital for treatment where he died.

The labourer along his brother was putting up in a rented accommodation for the past over three weeks. The duo has been engaged in making beddings---mattresses and quilts to earn their livelihood.

There have been a number of targeted killings in Kashmir, which resurfaced with the killing of Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit employee in a J&K Government office in Budgam district on May 12 this year.

This comes a day after three army personnel died while neutralising two terrorists who attempted to carry out a suicide bomb attack at Rajouri on Thursday. Subedar Rajendra Prasad, Rifleman Manoj Kumar and Rifleman Lakshmanan D made the supreme sacrifice for the country during the operation on Thursday morning.

However, the Army personel managed to foil the suicide bomb attack at its basecamp and killed both the terrorists.
