Jammu & Kashmir BJP leader Sheikh Wasim, his father and brother were killed by terrorists late on July 8 in the union territory's Bandipore district. J&K police told NDTV that Wasim & his family were attacked at around 9 pm while sitting outside a shop near the local police station. All three suffered injuries in the attack and were rushed to Bandipore district hospital, where they were pronounced dead. 10 policemen tasked with protecting the family have been arrested. Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed was behind the attack, the police said. In a late-night telephone conversation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought details and extended his condolences to Wasim’s family, Union Minister Jitendra Singh tweeted.
