The Chowkidar hid himself inside the store and remained there till 1 pm today when he came out as he didn’t heard sound of gunshots and firing for quite some time.
Faquir told the media persons at Nagrota that he heard sound of gunshots and thought it was practice session. However, as the firing and blasts intensified, he could easily guess that it was a terror attack and hid inside the store.
