The migrant worker from Punjab who was hurt in the attack by militants in Srinagar last night died on Thursday morning from his wounds.
The victim, Rohit Masih, was shot in the belly and taken to Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital. He was then moved to SKIMS Hospital for more advanced care. He did, however, die from his wounds. The sick person in charge at SKIMS reported that the migrant worker had died.
Terrorists opened fire on a worker named Amritpal Singh, 31, and his friend, a chemist named Rohit Masih, 27. Both men were from Amritsar and were in the Shaheed Ganj area. And while Amritpal died right there, Rohit was taken to the hospital in very bad shape.
VK Birdi, inspector general of police for the Kashmir area, said that security has been stepped up and asked people to be careful. Even though police are still trying to solve the case, Birdi said that security grids are in place and working. In the wake of the attack, the government has asked people to be careful and alert.
A migrant was killed in Srinagar in what was the first attack on a migrant in Kashmir this year. One person from outside the Valley was killed by attackers in the Valley in 2023.
A massive search was held to find the attackers, but no one was caught. No one has yet said that they were behind the attack on the foreign workers. A high-level police team has been put together to look into the attack on the migrant. At least three strikes have been planned against police officers in the last six months.
The killing of two foreign workers was called “barbaric” and a “dastardly attack” by political leaders of all parties.
At the same time, people in Shopian, south Kashmir, marched to protest the attack. People holding signs said things like “Stop killing civilians” and “End the killings.” There were protests and candle marches in many parts of Kashmir against these two deaths.
