Suspected freedom fighters on Monday gunned down three Indian police officers in separate attacks in occupied Srinagar. Police said two officers were shot dead while patrolling in the old part of the city. A third was shot dead in a business district less than an hour later.
"Three cops were killed in two different militant attacks," senior officer Ghulam Hassan Bhat told AFP in occupied Srinagar.
The militant group Hizb-ul-Mujahideen claimed the attacks, but there was no official confirmation it was responsible.
Authorities said they were tightening security in already heavily militarised city in the wake of the attacks.
