Shopian, South Kashmir – In a shocking incident, a Hindu Bihari migrant worker named Ashok Chauhan was killed by terrorists in Shopian. The lifeless body of Chauhan, whose death marks a troubling resurgence of violence in the region, was discovered by local residents who promptly alerted the police.
This tragic event marks the first killing since Omar Abdullah assumed office as Chief Minister, raising concerns over the safety of migrant workers in the area. Eyewitnesses report that Chauhan was well-known among the local community, and his death has left many in shock.
However, this incident echoes a similar tragedy that occurred on the same date in 2022, when two migrant workers were killed in Shopian, highlighting ongoing security challenges faced by non-local laborers in the Kashmir Valley.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to ensure the safety of citizens and migrant workers alike as tensions in the region remain high.
