Army Version: Chatergam Incident

In a case of militant committed atrocity, Ishfaq Ahmad Ganie of Magraypora was shot at by the militants, 500-600 metres away from Army Camp at Chhatargam.

When the Army troops heard sound of firing, the Quick Reaction Team immediately rushed towards the direction of fire to find out what was happening. When the party reached the spot, they saw Ishafaq in a pool of blood. He had bullet injuries, one in head and the other in leg and was immediately taken to Chhatargam hospital from where doctors shifted him to SMHS. The reports of individual lobbing the grenade on Army Camp and Army retaliation are completely baseless.

Police has taken cognisance and started investigation.
