4 injured in Shopian iftar clash

Four civilians were injured when an Army patrol team opened fire as clashes broke out during an iftar function at D.K. Pora village in Shopian on Monday evening.

A police official said a clash broke out when a patrol of the Army’s 34 Rashtriya Rifles had gone to the Jamia Masjid of the village for participating in an iftar function. “As the food was being served, a mob of miscreants attacked the Army patrol.

The Army party withdrew from the scene by resorting to aerial warning shots,” said the police.
