'Terrorists Asked Caste, Then Shot': Family's Shocking Claim In Kulgam Attack

The family of one of the two Chhattisgarh labourers killed in the Kulgam attack has alleged that the victim was identified before being shot, claiming the attackers asked about his caste and community before opening fire. There has been no official confirmation of the allegation. The two victims, Deepak Ratre from Sakti district and Bhupendra Bhaina from Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district, were working at a brick kiln in Jammu and Kashmir when terrorists attacked on Friday night. Deepak's family has appealed for the return of his mortal remains and financial assistance. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has announced an ex gratia of Rs 10 lakh each for the victims' families, while Chhattisgarh authorities are coordinating the return of the bodies.
