There were news reports claiming that Pakistan’s ISI has carried out the targeted killing through jihadi terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. Kashmiri journalists had claimed that two of the suspected terrorists were LeT’s Fahad Waza and Mehrajuddin Bangroo.
Two personal security officers of J&K police AB Ahmed and Mumtaz Ahmed were also gunned down by the terrorists. Shujaat was leaving his office in the press enclave, Srinagar to attend an iftar party when the terrorists attacked.
In another terror-related incident yesterday, 44, Rashtriya Rifles soldier Aurangzeb was abducted on his way home and killed by unidentified terrorists. His bullet-ridden body was found this morning near Gusoo, Pulwama. Aurangzeb was going to Poonch to celebrate Eid with his family.
