Kulgam Killing: Vijay Kumar Tied the Knot in February, Was Planning Trip Back Home in July
News 18Vijay Kumar had tied the knot in February this year and was supposed to come back to his native place here for 10-15 days next month. But the destiny willed otherwise, said his father Om Prakash Beniwal on Thursday after his son was shot dead by terrorists inside a bank in Kashmir’s Kulgam district. “The killing of Mr Vijay Kumar, a resident of Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, working in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir, by terrorists is highly condemnable. My condolences are with the people who were killed by terrorists and their family members.” Kumar’s is the eighth targeted killing in the Valley since May 1 and the third of a non-Muslim government employee. Two days ago, Rajni Bala, a Hindu woman teacher from Jammu’s Samba district, was shot dead by terrorists at a government school in Gopalpora, Kulgam.
