Srinagar, Oct 24: A non-local laborer from Uttar Pradesh was injured in a suspected militant attack in Batagund, Tral, in South Kashmir on Thursday morning, according to reports. The injured worker was shot at and sustained minor injuries, though no bullet cartridges have been found at the scene, officials said.
A top police official confirmed that the cause of the injury is being investigated. Following the incident, a joint team of police and security forces launched a search operation to track down the attackers.
This incident comes shortly after the bullet-riddled body of a laborer from Bihar was recovered in Kashmir’s Shopian region last week, raising concerns over the safety of migrant workers in the area.
