The killing comes a day after three soldiers, including a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO), were killed in a gunfight after two terrorists tried to carry out a suicide bombing at an army camp in Rajouri. Both the terrorists were killed during the operation.

"Army Chief Manoj Pandey and all sides salute the supreme sacrifice of soldiers who laid down their lives while on duty in Rajouri and express our deepest condolences to the bereaved families," an Army spokesperson tweeted yesterday.

Senior Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi condoled the incident on Twitter, saying, "A Bihari worker shot dead in Kashmir after a series of killings of people who come there for livelihood is a sign that this government has failed on the internal security front. You can't protect your own citizens, can you even claim victory?"

The shooting of a Bihari Labourer in Kashmir after a series of murders of anyone coming there to make a livelihood is further sign that this Govt has failed on the internal security front. If you can't protect your own citizens, can you even claim you are a success?
