Another migrant labourer killing in J&K! 19-year-old from Bihar shot dead in Bandipora

Bandipora, Aug 12: A migrant labourer from Bihar was shot dead by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district, police said on Friday. The attack took place around midnight, they said.

 

 

The deceased labourer was identified as Mohd Amrez, aged 19-year-old who was a resident of Besad village of Madhepura district in Bihar. He was fired upon by terrorists at Soadnara Sumbal on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, following which he succumbed to his injuries, police said.

 

Soon after being shot, he was shifted to the hospital for treatment where he died. "During intervening night, #terrorists fired upon & injured one outside #labourer Mohd Amrez S/O Mohd Jalil R/O Madhepura Besarh #Bihar at Soadnara Sumbal, #Bandipora. He was shifted to hospital for treatment where he succumbed," tweeted Kashmir Zone Police this morning.

 

 

“At around 12:20 AM my brother woke me up and said that a firing has started. He (deceased) wasn’t around, and we thought he went to the toilet. We went to check, saw him lying in a pool of blood and contacted security personnel. He was brought to Hajin and later referred but he died," his brother told news agency ANI.

 

 

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.
