Reports suggest that he was hit by multiple bullets fired at a close range. He was reportedly leaving for an iftaar party when he was shot.

While one of the personal security officers (PSO) guarding him was killed, another policeman and a civilian were injured, police said.

This is the first attack on a journalist in a long time in Kashmir and has shaken the entire journalism fraternity across the country.
