A police constable who was attacked by terrorists in Gudaru area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district this Friday morning, succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at Srinagar Military Hospital. This is the second soft target killing by terrorists in the Kashmir Valley in the last 12 hours. Constable Riyaz Ahmed was standing outside his house when the attack took place. The terrorists suddenly came and started firing on Riyaz who was standing near the house. The terrorists fled from there as soon as the police constable fell on the ground.
With the help of local people, Riyaz was immediately rushed to the district hospital. The doctors provided him with first aid. Seeing his critical condition, he was immediately rushed to the Military Hospital in Srinagar but police constable Riyaz could not bear the wounds and became a sacrifice.
At the same time, soon after the attack, SOG personnel along with a joint team of Army and CRPF reached Gudaru area and they started to trace the attackers. After all, people living nearby are also being questioned to identify the attackers. Let us tell you that on Tuesday, terrorists shot dead a Kashmiri Hindu youth, Rahul Bhatt, working in the Tehsildar office in district Budgam. This is the second incident of target killing in Kashmir within the last 12 hours.
