A migrant worker from Bihar has been shot dead by terrorists in a fresh targeted attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district, officials said on Wednesday.

The Kashmir Zone Police said the worker, identified as Raju Shah, was rushed to a hospital. However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.

"The injured person, who was shot at by #terrorists, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Search #operation underway in the area. Further details to follow. @JmuKmrPolice," the post read.

An earlier post from the handle had said Shah was shot in Zablipora in Anantnag's Bijbehara.

The attack comes barely a week after a resident of Dehradun was shot at by terrorists in south Kashmir's Herpora last Monday.

Dilranjeet Singh survived the attack. Two workers from Punjab had also been shot dead in Srinagar in February and a Pakistan link had emerged later, following the arrest of a terrorist.
