SRINAGAR: A CRPF jawan was shot dead by terrorists at his home in Jammu & Kashmir's Pulwama district on Sunday.

Militants barged into the house of a local CRPF constable, Naseer Ahmad Rather , in the Naira area of Pulwama, south Kashmir, and fired upon him, a police official said.

He said Rather received serious injuries and was rushed to hospital, where he was declared dead. The area has been cordoned off and a hunt has been launched to nab the assailants, the official said, adding that a case has been registered.
