This latest development comes amid multiple terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir recently. On October 18, two labourers, hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj, were killed in a terror attack in the Harmen region of the district. In a tweet, Kashmir Zone Police said that the terrorists lobbed hand grenade in Harmen, wherein both the labourers got injured. They were shifted to a hospital immediately where they succumbed to the injuries. The victims were asleep at the time of the grenade attack.
In another incident that happened on October 15, terrorists shot dead a Kashmiri Pandit, identified as Puran Krishan, in very close range near his house in Chowdari Gund in Shopian district.
