Suspected militants shot dead a Jammu and Kashmir Police constable on Sunday night near his house in Srinagar, The Indian Express reported.
The policeman has been identified as 29-year-old Tawseef Ahmad Wani, a resident of SD Colony in the Batamaloo neighbourhood in Srinagar. He was taken to the Shri Maharaj Hari Singh Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
A police spokesperson told the Hindustan Times that a case has been filed against the suspects and the investigation is ongoing. The police have cordoned off the area and have begun a search for the suspects.
Political leaders across party lines condemned the killing.
The National Conference said that it unequivocally condemns the “cowardly and dastardly attack”. “No words of condemnation would be enough,” the party said in a tweet. “Our hearts go out to his family and friends at this time of grief.”
May Tauseef’s family find strength to bear the irreparable loss.
