Police officer injured in Anantnag terror attack dies at AIIMS

June 16, 2019 20:08

Jammu and Kashmir Police inspector Arshad Ahmed Khan, who suffered injures in Wednesday's terrorist attack in Anantnag, died at the premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi on Sunday, officials said.

40-year-old Khan was flown to Delhi earlier in the day after his condition deteriorated.

Five Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed in the terror attack, in which a lone Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist targeted a patrol team of the paramilitary force.

Khan, the SHO of Saddar Police station in Anantnag, reached the site soon after.

The moment he stepped out of his official bulletproof vehicle, along with his service rifle, a barrage of bullets were fired by the terrorist. One ricocheted from the butt of his service rifle and hit his liver and duodenum, the officials said.

He was admitted to the AIIMS this afternoon, but died soon after, they added. -- PTI
