Srinagar: Two people were killed in a terror attack at Government Boys Higher Secondary School in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. The deceased included a school principal and a teacher. One of the two teachers killed in the firing by terrorists is a Kashmiri Pandit who was currently living in Batamalu Srinagar. He has been identified as Deepak Chand of Jammu. The principal of the second women's school is Supinder Kaur. Deepak Chand always invited his relatives from Jammu to come to Srinagar, pointing to good weather and good people. So the principal of his school had gone to Srinagar in his new car for the first time.
Just last week Deepak Chand had come to Jammu to drop his wife and daughter home before returning to work in Srinagar. Chand's cousin Vicky Mehra said that at 7.30 pm on Wednesday, he had called his elder brother and told him that he would come home on Ashtami (the eighth day of Navratri). He also spoke to his aunt and called her Kashmir. Within 24 hours of all this, Chand was shot dead by terrorists. The militants had also shot dead school principal Supinder Kaur. It is reported that the terrorists first lined up the teachers in the school and identified them by looking at their ID cards, then fired at the chest of the school principal and a teacher standing in the line.
Deepak Chand had been teaching in Kashmir for the past four years since his appointment under the Prime Minister's employment package for Kashmiri Pandits. Vicky Mehra said Deepak was extremely happy here and used to ask all the family members to come to Kashmir. He used to tell us that there is nothing to be afraid of, people are very good, the weather is good and there is no stress. Chand is with his wife Aradhana and mother Kanta. His father Lal Chand passed away last year. The family also has his elder brother Kamal Mehra and a married sister.
