According to media reports, two or three terrorists opened fire at the police guarding Veeri's house in Bijbehara, Anantnag. When the policemen retaliated, the terrorists fled from there.

No casualties were reported.

Though, PDP minister was not present at his place, security arrangements were beefed up and search operations were launched to track the terrorists. 

This came weeks after militants attacked the residence of a ruling PDP MLA in Shopian town of Kashmir by lobbing a grenade at it. However, there was no damage done due to the explosion that took place on October 5. 

In September, some unidentified militants snatched weapons from police personnel guarding the residence of ruling People's Democratic Party's district President from Anantnag.

Six to eight militants attacked the guard post at the residence of Advocate Jawed Ahmed Sheikh, district President of PDP at Dayalgam and snatched four AK rifles from the security personnel, a police official said.

Further details awaited.
