A retired Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) was shot dead after Friday prayers in Srinagar today.

Police sources said that Bhat, who was also accompanied by his personal security officer (PSO), was shot by an unidentified gunman who was armed with an assault rifle.
“Four bullets hit Bhat. The PSO didn’t have any weapon and the assailants fled away on a bike,” said a police officer.
Police and paramilitary officers have rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area.The killing took place despite stepping up of security across the valley ahead of Independence Day.
