Srinagar, December 24: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari expressed shock and grief over the brutal killing of retired Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mohammad Shafi Mir, who was mercilessly shot by the terrorists while he was performing the Adhan inside a mosque at Gantmulla, Sheeri, in North Kashmir’s Baramulla on Sunday morning.

This is one of the most brutal acts of terrorism that people fall prey to every now and then in Jammu and Kashmir.
