Targeted Killing Of Non Locals

Terrorists carried out a targeted killing in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar. A migrant worker was shot dead by terrorists on Wednesday. The victim, Amritpal Singh, was a resident of Amritsar in Punjab. According to local media reports, the deceased Amritpal Singh was a hawker. Another person, identified as Rohit, was seriously injured in the attack. The police said the incident took place in the Shaheed Gunj area of Srinagar. This is the first attack by terrorists on a non-local in Kashmir this year.

The police cordoned off the area just after the shootings and immediately started a search operation.

This targeted killing is considered to be the first attack against a non local in J&K this year. This attack recalled of an attack back in 2019-20 where non locals were targeted in the Kashmir Valley.
