Based on the first impression, it didn’t look like a terror attack, SSP Gupta stated.
Omar Abdullah, Farooq Abdullah’s son tweeted saying anti-sabotage and background checks on the intruder are underway.
I am aware of the incident that took place at the residence my father & I share in Bhatindi, Jammu. Details are sketchy at the moment. Initial reports suggest an intruder was able to gain entry through the front door & in to the upper lobby of the house.
