Chandigarh: As per media reports a group of militants fires in the air at Qaimoh Kulgam in south Kashmir on Sunday during the funeral of a militant killed in Anantnag on Saturday.

“In a throwback to the 1990s when militants surfaced at public places, four unmasked armed militants on Sunday appeared at the funeral of militant Fayaz Ahmad alias Setha in south Kashmir and offered a ‘gun salute’ in full public gaze. In Saturday’s attack by militants including Setha, three civilians and a policeman were shot dead on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway near Anantnag”, notes The Hindu.

The Hindu quotes Eyewitnesses saying that that Kulgam district’s Qoimoh area saw the four armed militants, led by local boy Junaid, mingling with the funeral crowd which included a large number of women.

The four militants fired shots in the air as people pumped their fists and raised pro-freedom slogans.
