Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti took to Twitter and attacked the central government over the incident.
"Three more policemen have lost their lives to militant bullets. Outrage, shock, and condemnation will be expressed by all of us on expected lines. Unfortunately, it brings no solace to the families of the victims. Clearly, with the rise in kidnapping of police personnel and their families, Centre¿s muscular policy is not working at all. Dialogue, the only way forward seems to be a distant dream for now," she wrote.
The incidents of terrorists attacking security personnel are on the rise in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. In August, a policeman was shot dead by terrorists outside an Eidgah in Kulgam's Zazripora, when he was leaving after offering prayers.
