SRINAGAR: Four days after the successful conclusion of G-20 tourism working group meeting in Srinagar, militants on Monday evening shot dead a minority community member in a targeted attack in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir.
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. The security men cordoned off the area and launched a cordon and search operation to track down the militants responsible for the attack.
The combing operation, according to a police official, was going on when reports last poured in. The police official said a massive manhunt has been launched to track down the attackers. The targeted killing by militants took place four days after the successful conclusion of a 3-day G-20 tourism working group meeting in Srinagar.
