A civilian was killed and three others critically injured on Sunday when suspected freedom fighters lobbed grenades in a marketplace in Indian occupied Kashmir (IOK) a day before elections, police said.
Suspected freedom fighters threw the grenades in the busy market in Doda, 185km north-east of occupied Jammu, sending shoppers running for cover, police said.
One person died in hospital where three others were in critical condition, police official Harjesh Kumar Singh said. Other police officials said 17 more people suffered minor injuries.
Singh said the target of the attack was not immediately clear, but witnesses said most victims were civilians.
Doda is one of the two constituencies in occupied Kashmir going to the polls on Monday on the last of five days of Indian parliamentary polls that began April 20.
