Jammu: A man was shot dead by security forces on Saturday after he drove into the Jammu home of former Chief Ministers Farooq Abdullah and son Omar, walked in and vandalised the house.
The incident took place when both the leaders were not present in the house.
Notably, they have the highest Z-plus category security.
The Jammu police found an Aadhaar card of the person, who was identified as Murad Ali Shah of the border district of Poonch
“He was not carrying any weapon. It was only a case of forced entry into a VIP area. He smashed the lobby area and attacked the CRPF jawans,” NDTV quoted Jammu top police officer SD Jamwal.
Father of the deceased later lashed out at security forces for killing his son.
“I want to know why was he killed. Where were the security guards when he breached the gate? Why didn’t they arrest him?” the father of the intruder questioned.
Murad Ali Shah’s father runs a gun shop at Bantalab in Jammu.
Omar Abdullah said initial reports suggest that the intruder was able to gain entry through the front door and into the upper lobby of the house.
