Police said terrorists fired upon Head Constable Ghulam Mohammad Dar, a resident of Wailoo Kralpora in Baramulla district.

“He was shifted to Sub District hospital in a critical condition where he succumbed to his injuries ,” a police officer said.

“Injured Police Personnel #succumbed to his injuries & attained #martyrdom. We pay our rich tributes to the #martyr & stand by his family at this critical juncture,” Police in a post on X said.

Soon after the incident, senior security officers rushed to the area and a search operation was going on to trace the attackers.
