A BJP leader and two members of his family were killed on Wednesday night after terrorists opened fire at them in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district.
Sheikh Waseem Bari was killed when terrorists fired at him outside his shop near Bandipur police station.
The police confirmed that his brother Umar Sultan and father Bashir were also killed.
BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav said he was “shocked and saddened” by the killing.
“Bari’s father who is also a senior leader was injured. This despite eight security commandos,” he added in a tweet.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also condemned the attack.
“Sorry to hear about the murderous terror attack on the BJP functionaries and their father in Bandipore earlier this evening,” said the National Conference leader in a tweet. “My condolences to their families in this time of grief. Sadly the violent targeting of mainstream political workers continues unabated.”
