A man was shot dead by security forces on Saturday after he rammed his car into National Conference President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Ministers Farooq Abdullah and son Omar’s house in Jammu.
A duty officer was also injured in the incident.
The two National Conference leaders, who have the highest Z-plus category security, were not at home when the incident took place.
One security official was injured in the scuffle with the man, said to be in his mid-twenties. The Jammu police found an Aadhaar card on his person that identified him as Murad Ali Shah of the border district of Poonch.
CRPF personnel shot him dead near the stairs that lead to the bedroom.
“He was not carrying any weapon. It was only a case of forced entry into a VIP area and he smashed the lobby area and attacked the CRPF also,” SD Jamwal, Jammu’s top police officer said.
