Kulgam: In yet any other incident of targeted attacks on minorities in Jammu and Kashmir, a Hindu school teacher was fired at by way of terrorists in the Kulgam district of the Kashmir region. 36-year-old Rajni Bala, a resident of Samba in the Jammu region, sustained injuries when terrorists fired at her in the Gopalpora place of Kulgam where she used to be posted as a teacher, police said. She was significantly injured and rushed to the sanatorium the place physicians declared her dead on arrival. The police have said that the terrorists involved in the grotesque crime will be soon recognized and neutralised.
The incident befell at a High School in the Gopalpora area of Kulgam. The area has been cordoned off.
National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah termed the attack on the teacher a “despicable” act.
“Rajni used to be from Samba District of Jammu province. A government teacher working in Kulgam place of South Kashmir, she lost her lifestyles in a despicable targeted attack. My heart goes out to her husband Raj Kumar & the rest of her family. Another home irreparably damaged by violence,” he said.
“This is yet another targeted killing in a long list of recent attacks directed at unarmed civilians. Words of condemnation & condolence ring hollow as do the assurances of the government that they will not rest till situation normalises. May the deceased rest in peace,” Mr Abdullah added.
