Hyderpora encounter: Businessman killed in crossfire

A girl weeps after her father Mohammad Altaf Bhat, the owner of a shopping centre, was killed in Srinagar, Kashmir, India, on Nov 16, 2021. Altaf Bhat was among the four persons, including a Pakistani terrorist and his local associate, killed in the gunfight in Hyderpora locality of Srinagar late Monday evening. Police on Tuesday said businessman Mohammad Altaf Bhat was killed in the “cross-firing” between militants and security forces at Hyderpora Monday, but he would be counted as a “harbourer of terrorists” as he did not inform authorities about the tenants in his building.
