Omar leads ministers, officials to border Poonch district
This was the first outreach of Omar after becoming CM of Jammu and Kashmir.
A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander managed to flee from police custody after terrorists opened indiscriminate fire inside the Maharaja Hari Singh hospital in Srinagar killing a policeman, officials said.
As per initial reports, a team of Jammu and Kashmir police had brought a Pakistani prisoner Abu Hanzula alias Naveed Jatt to the hospital for a medical checkup when the attack took place, to help the prisoner flee.
Several rounds were fired by both sides and in the ensuing melee, Hanzula who was arrested a few months ago in Shopian, managed to flee the spot.
