SRINAGAR: With Srinagar staggering under successive terrorist assaults, things turned for the worse on Sunday when Sumbal in Bandipora erupted in massive protests after two youth were killed in firing by security personnel on a combing mission.
Irfan Ahmad Gania, 18, and Irshad Ahmad Dar, 25, were, according to their parents, attending a wedding at Markundal village in Sumbal, at 4am when they were killed by the security forces. However, Rashtriya Rifles said its jawans acting on specific intelligence inputs about presence of terrorists, had cordoned off the area, when there was a burst of gunfire from a house beyond the sanitised area.
