A police official said militants fired from close range towards a minority community member Deepak Kumar alias Deepu, son of Masook Kumar from Udhampur district of J&K, in south Kashmir today evening. Deepak received multiple bullet injuries in the militant attack and was taken to a hospital nearby, where he succumbed to injuries.
The deceased was working at a private circus mela at Amusement Park in Janglaat Mandi area of Anantnag. Immediately after the militant attack, a contingent of police, CRPF, and army rushed to the area.
