A woman television actor was shot dead by terrorists in Central Kashmir’s Budgam district on Wednesday, May 25. Her nephew also sustained injuries in the attack. A top police officer told India Today that terrorists fired upon the actor Amreen Bhat and her 10-year-old nephew outside their residence in Hishroo Chadoora. Both of them were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, the officer said. While Amreen Bhat was declared brought dead, her nephew is receiving treatment for bullet injuries in his arm.

According to Kashmir Police, three terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were involved in the incident.

“No words are strong enough to condemn heinous terror attack in Budgam. Deepest condolences to the family of Amreen Bhat and prayers for fast recovery of her injured nephew,” said Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. The entire area has been cordoned off by the police. Further probe is underway.
