The PDP chief charged that according to reports and witnesses “it seems that the firing was one sided”.
“Again the official version far from truth is not in line with ground realities as seen in Shopian, HMT & Hyderpora,” the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister alleged.
The three militants were identified as Mehran Shalla, the commander of TRF, Manzoor Ahmad Mir and Arafat Sheikh, both residents of Pulwama.
According to the officials, the militants were affiliated with TRF, an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba. (PTI)
