Kulgam Bank Manager Killing Video: A bank employee from Rajasthan was shot dead by a terrorist in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. The entire sequence was recorded in the CCTV camera installed inside the bank premises.
The chilling video shows a masked man pulling out a pistol from a handbag as he barged into the bank through the main entrance. He then turns back to ensure no one was behind him and then fired at the employee from close range. The attacker fled from the spot immediately.
The killing took place at the Ellaqui Dehati Bank. The deceased bank official was identified as Vijay Kumar. He was working as the manager in Areah village branch. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to injuries on the way.
