SRINAGAR: A policeman was shot dead by suspected militants on Monday at a busy bus terminal in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), officials said. He was attacked in western Magam town, about 30 kilometers from Srinagar.“A member of our patrolling party was shot dead on point blank range resulting in his instant death,' Prabhakar Tripathi, the spokesman for Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), told AFP.
“Our boys exercised restraint and didn't retaliate as the terminal was packed with people,' he said, adding that the killing sparked panic in the area. No group has claimed responsibility.
