JAMMU, May 8 : Thousands of people last night participated in the funeral prayers of a policeman who was martyred in a militant attack near Aiwa Bridge along Dr Ali Jan Road in Srinagar.
The funeral took place late last night, barely an hour after a wreath laying ceremony was held for Constable Ghulam Hassan Dar at DPL Srinagar.
Police officers led by IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar including DIG CKR, SSP Srinagar, SSP PCR and other officials paid tributes to Dar during wreath laying last night.
Dar was fired upon by militants while he was on his motor-cycle.
He was shifted to SKIMS Soura where he succumbed to his injuries late last night. During the funeral procession at his native Danwar Eidgah area here, a woman was seen showering sweets on the coffin while some of his wailing relatives were seen beating chests.
