Norwegian journalist in heated MEA exchange says Instagram, Facebook suddenly suspended: What’s happening?
The area has been cordoned off by security forces and a search for the attackers has been started. Jammu and Kashmir Police DIG Sujit Kumar visited the terror incident spot.
"The unfortunate incident has happened here. The terror group 'Kashmir freedom fighters' has taken responsibility for the attack. We are investigating the matter and have launched massive manhunt to nab the terrorists," said DIG Kumar.
"As per eyewitness, one terrorist was seen attacking the Kashmiri Pandit Pooran Kishan Bhat but there is a possibility that there could be some more terrorists involved in the attack," he added.
On being asked about the security lapse, DIG admitted that the terrorists managed to attack despite a security guard in place and an army camp nearby. The DIG added that they would look at all the angles and take action if any dereliction of duty was found.
Many condemned the attack, including the Grand Mufti of Kashmir, Mufti Nasir ul lslam.
''The killing of Kashmiri Pandit is deplorable. Such acts cannot be accepted and will disturb the peace and harmony of Kashmir. The killing of any innocent human is killing all humanity. I stand behind the family of the deceased and express my sympathy with them,' said Mufti Nasir ul lslam.
