Man shot dead by terrorists in J&K's Rajouri

A government employee was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in another targeted attack in Jammu and Kashmir this evening. Mohammad Razaq was shot soon after he came out of a mosque at Shadra Sharief area of Rajouri. He died of his injuries in a hospital.

The 40-year-old was an employee in the social welfare department.

Security personnel rushed to the spot and launched a massive cordon and search operation to track down the terrorists, they said.

This comes close on the heels of two non-locals being shot dead in Anantnag and Herpora districts respectively. A migrant worker from Bihar was shot dead by terrorists in a targeted attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on Wednesday just a week after a resident of Dehradun was shot at by terrorists in south Kashmir's Herpora.
