Militant kills BSF jawan Ramzan Parray in a cowardly attack, family injured

Srinagar : Constable Mohammad Ramzan Parray of BSF was shot dead by a militant at his residence on Wednesday evening after he and his family tried to oppose the attempt to kidnap him. The terrorists also opened fire on the family, leaving four members injured. 

The BSF jawan was visiting his home on a vacation and had no arms when the militants attacked him. 31-year-old Ramzan was inducted in the army that primarily takes care of India's border with Pakistan and Bangladesh six years ago.

Jammu and Kashmir Police chief SP Vaid termed the attack as 'barbaric and inhuman'.

The killing comes just a few days after India had cited the cold-blooded murder of a Kashmiri army officer Lt Ummer Fayaz at the United Nations General Assembly as an example of the kind of terrorism emanating from Pakistan. 

"This is a true picture. It portrays a harsh and tragic reality," an Indian diplomat had told the UN body, holding the 22-year-old officer's photograph.
