Srinagar, Apr 25 (IBNS): Suspected terrorists shot dead Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Patel in south Kashmir's  Rajpora area on Wednesday, reports said.

He was reportedly traveling in his car when he was attacked by terrorists.

His personal security members were also injured in the attack.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti mourned the death of the Congress leader.
