Another dastardly attack on BJP leader! LeT terrorists kill BJP sarpanch, his wife inside their Anantnag house

Anantnag, August 10: Kashmir once again shook up with a horrifying incident, as another BJP leader, Ghulam Rasool Dar was dastardly killed by the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)'s terrorists in Anantnag on Monday.

 

The horrifying incident took place on Monday afternoon when two Pak-sponsored Jihadi terrorists of LeT barged into the rented accommodation of Ghulam Rasool Dar (68) and his wife Jawhara Banoo (60) in the Lal Chowk area and shot at them from close range.

 

 

After the attack, the couple was taken to a government medical college in Anantnag where doctors declared them dead, police said. This attack came shortly after the couple had decided to return to their home from secure Government-provided hotel accommodation in the district.

 

 

Immediately after the incident, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) Vijay Kumar reached the spot to have a firsthand assessment of the situation. The IGP said that "two motorcycle-borne terrorists of banned LeT outfit were involved in this barbaric terror incident".

 

 

The couple was provided a secured accommodation at the Snow Cap Hotel, Kulgam, and both stayed there for a short period, but they had been continuously insisting to move to their house at Anantnag Town and also submitted an undertaking in this regard, police said.

 

"On their request, they were allowed to stay at the house in Anantnag. He was also provided with one PSO who, however, was found absent from duty at the time of the incident. The said PSO has been placed under suspension," a statement from the police said. Police have registered a case in this regard and a probe is in progress to establish the full circumstances of this terror crime.

 

Dar was the president of BJP Kisan Morcha of Kulgam district and was also serving as the sarpanch from Redwani village in the district. His wife was a member of the panchayat from the same village. According to the BJP, terrorists have killed 19 members of the BJP in different attacks which took place in varied parts of the Kashmir Valley in the last year. The victims include elected Panchayat members and grassroots workers.
