The militants barged into the house of a local CRPF man, Naseer Ahmad Rather, at Naira village in the evening and shot at him injuring him critically, they said. “Naseer was rushed to district hospital Pulwama where he succumbed to injuries. Police have registered a case and investigation has been initiated,” a police statement said. The area has been cordoned off and a hunt has been launched to nab the assailants who shot at Rather, the official said,

Rather was posted in Police Control Room (PCR) Srinagar with 183 battalion of CRPF and was on leave. Killing of Rather came barely 24 hours after militants released an abducted Special Police Officer (SPO) in Tral area of the Pulwama district after 24 hours following the appeal by his mother.

The deceased CRPF jawan is survived by his wife and a three-year-old son.
