In a brazen disregard for the Centre’s Ramzan ceasefire, Lashkar terrorists attacked a house in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora area and killed man by slitting his throat.
Police said Mohammad Yaqoob Wagay, a mutton seller by profession, was taken to a room of his home where he was killed by slitting his throat. The 38-year-old was killed in front of his wife and son. They were gagged and then his throat was slit.
Sheikh Zulfikar Azad, Senior Superintendent Of Police, Bandipora, told DNA that a five member group of Lashkar e Toiba led by Saleem Parrey were involved in the crime.
Police have registered a case and started investigation into the matter, he added.
The attack comes a day after the Centre expressing satisfaction with the response to the Ramzan ceasefire and saying that the truce could extend it beyond the holy month.
"The cease-op is getting good response. Can't rule out extending it beyond Ramzan," a top MHA official said on Thursday. He also mentioned that the increased shelling by Pakistan along the International Border was also a result of the government's peace initiative in Jammu and Kashmir bearing fruit.
The MHA official also said that Pakistan had accelerated ceasefire violations along the border as they are unhappy with the positive outcome of the ceasefire in Kashmir.
At least five civilians were killed and 30 people, including six BSF jawans, were injured in shelling by Pakistani rangers on Wednesday. Nearly the entire 181km-long International Border from Kathua to Akhnoor in Jammu division was rattled by Pakistani firing.
The spurt in firing by Pakistan at the same time that the Valley is experiencing relative peace is not a coincidence, said officials.
According to Jammu and Kashmir’s DGP SP Vaid, there had been only six incidents of stone pelting were reported between May 17 and May 20, just after the introduction of the ceasefire.
SP Vaid had tweeted: "The initiative of Hon'ble PM has helped in general improvement in law & order. The situation especially in south Kashmir has eased and is serving as confidence building measure for families who want their boys to return back home.”
PDP Leader Waheed Para welcomed the Centre's decision to consider an extension. "A congenial atmosphere is being created. On the ground there is a lot of relief. If Centre extends Ceasefire, it will be a welcome move," he said.
