Militants shot dead an off duty policeman, fourth such targeted killing since May this year, in south Kashmir’s Pulwama on Saturday.
The police said the body of Sub Inspector Farooq Ahmad Mir from Samboora, Pulwama, posted in the Indian Reserve Police’s 23 battalion was found in paddy fields near his home.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that he had left his home for work in his paddy fields yesterday in the evening, where he was shot dead by terrorists using a pistol,” the police said.
