Monday, Militants sent a alarming reminder to the Mehbooba Mufti-led government when they approved out two astounding shoot-and-scoot attacks, leaving three policemen, as well as an officer, dead in Srinagar.

The initial violence was conceded out at the busy Zadibal market around 10.30 am when motorcycle-borne militants fired at two cops from point blank as the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The two have been identified as assistant sub inspector Ghulam Muhammad Bhat and head constable Nazir Ahmed Mir. An hour and a half later, militants struck at Tengpora, some 10 km away from Zadibal, and shot dead constable Mohammad Sidiq, a personal security officer of a politician Mohammad Abdullah.

This is the first major attack on cops since June 2013. "It is a desperate act. We have seen, of late, that security forces have been getting very good successes.
