Budgam (Jammu and Kashmir) [India]: A tense situation prevailed after Kashmiri Pandit government workers along with their families started a protest against the killing of Chadoora Tehsil Office employee Rahul Bhat in the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Rahul Bhatt, an employee of the Tehsil office in the Budgam district’s Chadoora, was shot dead by terrorists in Budgam on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Police said, “While sensing the security of the protesters who had resorted to violence and neglected the pacification requests by the administration and to thwart evil designs of anti-national elements (ANEs), police were constrained to finally hurl a few teargas shells to disperse them.”
