Cop killed as temple sentry assumes attack, opens fire in Handwara
[GREATERKASHMIR] A policeman from Langate area of north Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
's Kupwara district was rubbed out by a sentry at a temple while trying to forcefully enter into the premises around midnight, police said on Wednesday.In a statement issued this morning, a police official said that the temple's sentry opened fire on the cop Ajay Dhar, son of Late Krishen Lal Dhar, a resident of Langate Handwara and posted at Police Station Handwara "assuming it an attack by ANEs (anti-national elements)".

Dhar succumbed to the bullet injury later, the DIG said.

News agency GNS while quoting sources reported that the slain was a police follower and was shifted to nearby hospital in Handwara after being shot at by the sentry.

From the Handwara hospital, Dhar was referred to SKIMS Soura for specialized treatment, but breathed his last at the tertiary care hospital, the report said.

Quoting sources, it further said that as per preliminary investigation, the dear departed "had headphones in ears and despite loud calls by his colleague, he did not respond which led the personnel on guard duty at the temple to fire at him".
