Srinagar, Mar 27 (IBNS): Suspected militants attacked the house of the Minister of State for Hajj and Auquaf, Farooq Andrabi, a leader of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, injuring one policeman.

The incident took place on Sunday night.

According to reports, the suspected militants attacked the ancestral residence of the minister at Dooru in Anantnag District and injured a policeman.

“When militants opened fire on party, they forced their way in the house of minister and took away four rifles of the security guards,” senior police officer told IBNS.
