A day after three civilians were shot dead by militants in Srinagar, the PDP chief and former Chief Minister of Jammu Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti said with the recent spate of civilian killings in Kashmir, the Centre’s ‘fake narrative of normalcy’ lies in tatters.

“With the recent spate of civilian killings in Kashmir GOIs fake narrative of normalcy lies in tatters. An utterly desensitised govt that has devalued human lives & pushed J&K into further peril & chaos by its ruthless policies of collective punishment all in the garb of security,” Mehbooba Mufti tweeted.

A prominent businessman, Mr. Bindroo from Srinagar, a non-local street vendor identifed as Virendra Paswan from Bihar and a local (Sumo Association president, Naidkhai, Bandipora) Mohammad Shafi were shot dead by unknown gunmen on Tuesday evening within a span of a few hours.

Earlier, on October 2, two civilians were shot dead by militants in Srinagar.
