ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Jun, 2018 ) :Five people, in Indian occupied Kashmir, were martyred and dozens others, including a woman, were injured in the brutal actions of Indian troops in Islamabad district, today.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the troops opened fire on a residential house during a cordon and search operation in Srigufwara area of the district, critically injuring the owner of the house, Muhammad Yousuf Rathar, and his wife, Hafeeza Begum. The injured were shifted to sub-district hospital Bijbehara for treatment. However, Rathar was declared dead on arrival while Hafeeza was shifted to Soura Institute of Medical Sciences in Srinagar for specialized treatment.
The troops also killed four youth and destroyed a residential house during the operation. Earlier, an Indian policeman was killed and two troops were injured in an attack in the same area.
Meanwhile, massive protests erupted in the area against the cordon and search operation and subsequent killings.
