Less than 24 hours after a Chairman of the Block Development Council in the central Kashmir district of Budgam was shot dead by 'unidentified' terrorists from a close range, a famous Advocate who appeared on TV news channels and participated in 'volatile' debates on Kashmir issue was gunned down in Hawal area of Srinagar on Thursday evening.
The deceased Advocate has been identified as Babar Qadri. According to the local police authorities, Advocate Babar Qadri was shot at from a close range and was rushed to the SKIMS where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Qadri had recently locked horns with his opponents on the social media who often labeled him an agent of 'agencies' in Kashmir valley.
In one such case, Qadri had even posted a tweet urging the police authorities to register FIR against one social media user.
“I urge the state Police administration to register FIR against this Shah Nazir who has spread the wrong campaign that I work for agencies. This un true statement can lead to threat to my life.”
