SRINAGAR, Aug 12: A migrant worker from Bihar was shot dead by terrorists in Bandipora district, the latest in a series of targeted killings, officials said on Friday.
The attack took place late Thursday night in Soadnara Sumbal in Bandipora.
The deceased, identified as Mohd Amrez from Madhepura in Bihar, was a weaver. Amrez was aged around 20.
Mohammad Tamheed, who identified himself as Amrez's brother, said they were sleeping when they heard gunshots around 12:20 am.
"...my younger brother woke me up, saying some shots were fired. I told him to go back to sleep saying such things happen. But he told me that he will take a look as another brother was not in the room.
"He went downstairs and saw him (Amrez) covered in blood. We called the Army. They came and took him to Hajin. The doctors there told us to take him to Srinagar, but he succumbed on the way," Tamheed said.
Tamheed and Amrez's colleagues have appealed to the government to help them take his body back to Bihar.
