Kashmir: Suspected militants killed a police constable in Pulwama district of South Kashmir on Saturday morning.
A senior police officer told IANS in Srinagar, "Selection grade constable Irshad Ahmad Ganai was leaving his home in Koil village for duties when a militant appeared and shot him from a close range."
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared brought dead.
On Wednesday, Pulwama's additional superintendent of police, the deputy superintendent of police and a station house officer was seriously injured in a grenade attack.
Kashmir Valley has been on the edge since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8, which triggered widespread unrest and prompted an intense security crackdown.
The Valley is under curfew for a record 50 days.
At least 70 people have been killed and thousands wounded in violent street protests.
