Amrez’s brother informed: “Around 12.20 am my brother woke me up & said that a firing has started. He (deceased) wasn’t around, we thought he went to the toilet. We went to check, saw him lying in a pool of blood and contacted the security personnel. He was brought to Hajin and later referred but he died.”
The incident comes a day after three army personnel died while neutralising two terrorists who attempted to carry out a suicide bomb attack at Rajouri. However, the army personnel were able to foil the suicide bomb.
