On 16 March, SPO Khushboo Jan was brutally murdered by terrorists at her village in Shopian district. Local Kashmiri people as well Kashmiris working in the security forces have long been on the target of terrorists who have been killing them in order to deter people from joining the security forces in Kashmir.
