Ishfaq Ahmad Ganie, a local of Magray Pora, was shot dead by terrorists on Friday a few metres away from an army camp here.
The deceased was a resident of Magray Pora, and was shot 500-600 metres away from the army camp. When the troops heard the sound of firing, a Quick Reaction Team immediately rushed towards the direction of fire to find out what was happening, the army spokesperson said.
He added, "As the party reached the spot, they saw Ishfaq in a pool of blood. He had bullet injuries, one in the head and the other in his leg. He was immediately taken to Chhatargam hospital from where doctors shifted him to SMHS."
However, the army denied the reports of individual lobbing grenade on the army camp and the army's retaliation, terming them as completely 'baseless'.
