Terror attack on liquor shop in Kashmir: Jammu local killed; BJP blames new terror outfit JKFF

In a fresh terror attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, a liquor shop was targeted in Baramulla. Terrorists hurled a grenade at the newly-opened liquor store, killing one person and injuring 3 others.

The attack occurred in a high-profile area housing offices of many police officials, as well as Army and CRPF camps, as per reports. The grenade was reportedly thrown in via the opening used to hand over liquor bottles to customers.

All the victims were employees at the shop. They were identified as Ranjit Singh, Goverdhan Singh, Govind Singh, and Ravi Kumar. They were rushed to a hospital where one succumbed to his injuries.

Heavy deployment of security personnel was seen in the area following the attack.

Kavinder Gupta, BJP leader and former Deputy CM of J&K, said, "The terror outfit called Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters attacked a liquor store in Baramulla. A person named Ranjit Singh, hailing from Rajouri was killed. 3 people were injured. Constantly targeting minorities is intolerable. Security forces will find the attackers. This is a serious issue in view of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, and also the ongoing tourist season. Security forces are doing good work. Many terrorists have been neutralised. But equipment like CCTVs need to be installed so that such criminals are more easily found."
