Weeks after militants opened fire at police personnel in a Srinagar hospital and managed to flee a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist, two policemen were shot dead by terrorists in two separate attacks in the valley on Sunday. One of the attacks took place near the revered Chrar-e-Shareef shrine and the other outside the residence of a Hurriyat leader, officials said.

In both cases, terrorists decamped with the service rifle of the deceased.

Following the incident, Jammu & Kashmir Police chief S P Vaid posted a tweet dubbing the incidents as "proxy war" and asked his men to be careful.
