A migrant worker from Bihar was fatally shot by terrorists in a targeted attack in Anantnag district, Jammu and Kashmir.
The Kashmir Zone Police in a post on X, stated that the migrant worker, Raju Shah, was shot in Zablipora, Bijbehara and succumbed to his injuries after being rushed to the hospital.
The police's X post read: "The injured person, who was shot at by #terrorists, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Search #operation underway in the area. Further details to follow. @JmuKmrPolice."
This attack comes a week after a resident of Dehradun was targeted in south Kashmir’s Herpora but survived.
Earlier in the year, two workers from Punjab were killed in Srinagar in February, with a Pakistan link later established.
The killing of Shah coincides with the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections in Anantnag, scheduled for May 7.
Earlier on Wednesday, two suspected terrorists were arrested from Bijbehara and arms and ammunition were recovered from them.
"On specific Intelligence input, a joint operation was launched by #IndianArmy & @JmuKmrPolice on 17 Apr at Naina, Bijbehara in Anantnag. Two suspected individuals have been apprehended along with the recovery of one Weapon, one Hand Grenade and other war-like stores," the Indian Army's Chinar Corps posted on X.
