Former Senior Superintendent of Police Shot Dead by Unidentified Terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir

A retired police officer, Mohammad Shafi, was tragically killed on Sunday morning while offering prayers in a mosque in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district. The assailants, who remain unidentified, opened fire on Shafi, resulting in his unfortunate demise. The incident took place in the Gantmulla area of the city, where Shafi was performing the Muslim call to prayer.

Shafi, a 72-year-old former Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), dedicated his life to serving and protecting the community. According to reports from Greater Kashmir, he was known for his commitment and devotion to his duty. The news of his untimely death has sent shockwaves throughout the region.

The local police have swiftly cordoned off the area to investigate the incident further. Authorities are currently gathering more details about the attack, and the public is eagerly awaiting updates from the investigation.

The Kashmir Zone Police shared the news on social media, stating, “#Terrorists fired upon Shri Mohd Shafi, a retired police officer at Gantmulla, Sheeri #Baramulla, while praying Azan in the mosque and succumbed to injuries. Area has been #cordoned off. Further details awaited. @JmuKmrPolice.”

Mohammad Shafi leaves behind his grieving wife, two sons, and a daughter. KNO, a reputable news agency, reported the heartbreaking news of his demise and highlighted the impact it has had on his family.

This incident comes shortly after another tragic attack in Poonch, where terrorists ambushed two Army vehicles, resulting in the loss of five soldiers’ lives and leaving two others injured. The relentless acts of violence continue to pose a threat to the safety and security of the region.

Just a few days ago, the Jammu and Kashmir police successfully dismantled a terrorist module that had been assigned to target off-duty policemen in Srinagar. This operation led to the apprehension of three terrorists involved in the assault on a police constable in Srinagar’s Bemina area on December 9.

The terrorists responsible for the attack were identified as Imtiyaz Ahmed Khanday and Danish Ahmed Mala, both hailing from Bemina, and Mehran Khan from Rainawari. Investigations have revealed their association with a Pakistan-based handler named Hamza-Burhan, originally from Pulwama.

These incidents serve as stark reminders of the persistent security challenges faced by the region. The loss of a dedicated and experienced retired police officer like Mohammad Shafi highlights the need for enhanced efforts in combating terrorism and ensuring the safety of the people.

The authorities are determined to bring the culprits to justice and take necessary measures to prevent such tragic incidents in the future. As the investigation progresses, the public remains hopeful for a swift resolution and a safer environment for all.
