Former cop shot dead by militants in Kulgam 7/16/2015 12:11:50 AM Early Times Report Srinagar, July 15A former police officer was shot dead by militants in Kulgam district of south Kashmir, the second attack by the ultras on civilians in the region within 12 hours, police said on Wednesday. Bashir Ahmad Dar, retired superintendent of police, was shot dead late last night near his residence in Ashmuji, 70 kms from here, a police official said. "At about 11.30 pm, some unknown militants fired upon the retired SP near his residence at Ashmuji in Kulgam," the official said. He said Dar was referred to SKIMS Hospital here but was declared dead on arrival. The attack on Dar was the second such incident yesterday in south Kashmir. Earlier yesterday, militants shot at and critically injured a Panch Mohammad Yaqoob Malla in nearby Shopian district. No militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the two attacks but they have come amid growing activities of militants on social networking sites. Banned terrorist group Hizbul Mujahideen uploaded an 80-second video and several group pictures over the past fortnight in an apparent move to glamorise militancy to attract new recruits.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
