Panch Injured in the attack, out of danger

Kulgam:  Suspected militants Saturday shot dead the security guard of National Conference legislator from Homeshalibugh Assembly segment Abdul Majid Bhat Larm in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district. 

An elected panch accompanying the deceased was also hit by a bullet and was shifted to SMHS hospital.

National Conference Legislator Abul Majid Bhat Larmi said that the deceased security guard was his personal driver and was associated with him for past eight years. “The deceased security guard whom he identified as Zahoor Ahmed Dar was on his way to my office located at Wonpoh Kulgam when shot. He had sought lift from one of his neighbours Zahoor Elahi who was riding a motor-cycle. An unidentified gunman appeared on road near Reidwani Bala and fired upon my security guard. He breathed his last while being shifted to hospital,” Larmi said adding that the deceased is survived by widow, two minor children, an unmarried sister and aged father.

Reports said that the deceased was the son of elected National Conference Sarpanch Ghulam Rasool Dar. 

Elahi, the elected Panch also received bullet injury and according to doctors his condition was stable.

“I don’t know who is behind the attack. The deceased sought lift from my son who was riding his scooter and suddenly somebody fired upon them. Our neighbor died while my son got injured,” Sara Bano, the mother of injured Panch from Havoora Mishpora said in the hospital.

SP Kulgam Mumtaz Ahmed said that Zahoor Ahmad Dar died on the spot in the attack while another person, Zahoor Ahmad Elahi, was injured. It will be premature to say anything at this point of time. We have taken up the investigation and everything will be clear after few days,” he said. (CNS)
