Bhat who was in the lawn of his house when the attack took place was shifted to the district hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Since the watering down of Article 370 in 2019, terrorists have targetted civilians, including those from the minority communities, and carried out a spree of targetted killings in the Union Territory.
