Rahul Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit, was shot at and killed by terrorists at Tehsil office in Budgam on Thursday.

“If a person is shot inside his office, nobody is safe in the valley…when such a thing has happened it is a glaring example of the government’s failure. Those serving (among the Kashmiri Pandits) there are doing it at their own risk as the government has failed to provide security to them,” PTI reported his father Bita Bhat as saying at his Durga Nagar residence in the outskirts of Jammu.
