Srinagar: In yet another attempt to instil fear among minority community members in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists fired upon a Kashmiri Pandit in the Budgam area on Thursday. The Kashmiri Pandit, identified as Rahul Bhat, was admitted to a hospital, but lost his life during treatment. The dastardly incident was reported from Chadoora in Budgam. The Kashmir Police suspect that two terrorists were involved in the attack.
Bhat, a government employee, was shot at when he was working in his office in the Chadoora area. Rahul Bhat worked as a clerk in Tehsildar office.
The terrorists barged the Tehsil office in Chadoora and shot at Rahul Bhat.
“The #injured was immediately brought to SMHS Hospital, Srinagar for treatment where he #succumbed to his injuries. Preliminary investigation reveals that 02 #terrorists are #involved in this #heinous crime & have used pistol for committing this crime,” the Kashmir Police informed.
“Terrorists fired upon one employee namely Shri Rahul Bhat from #minority community in Tehsildar office Chadoora, #Budgam. He has been shifted to hospital,” the Kashmir Police tweeted.

In recent times, the terrorists have been attacking non-local workers and Kashmiri Pandits.
