A civilian was injured after terrorists opened fire in Bohri Kadal area of old Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir.
"He is hospitalized and his condition is critical," said the Jammu and Kashmir police to ANI.
The ultras fired upon Mohammad Ibrahim Khan, a resident of Bandipora district, at Bohri Kadal around 8 pm, they said.
The officials said Khan, who works as a salesman in the nearby Maharajgunj area, was rushed to a hospital in a critical condition.
