Jammu and Kashmir: Migrant labourer from Bihar shot dead by terrorists in Anantnag
The victim, whom the police identified as Raju Sah of Bihar, succumbed to injuries during treatment.
Stressing that the government needs to give a “free hand” to the army to act against those behind mutilating two Indian soldiers, former Defence Minister AK Antony on Tuesday said such an incident only took place once when the Congress led UPA was in power.
“Give free hand to army to act against those behind mutilation of two Indian soldiers,” Antony said a day after two Indian soldiers were killed and mutilated by Pakistani soldiers along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir.
“During our time, only one such incident happened in eight years. But here it has happened thrice. It has affected the morale of the Indian Army. It puts a question on the security structure,” he added.
