Shubam Kumar, a resident of Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, received a gunshot injury in the arm when the terrorists fired at him at Batagund village, the officials said.

They said Kumar has been rushed to a hospital for treatment.

This is a third attack on non-local labourers in Kashmir in the past one week.
