A member of the Village Defence Committee (VDC) in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir allegedly killed National Conference (NC) youth leader Ishtyaq Ahmed late on Sunday night.
Ahmed was shot dead by the accused after the duo indulged in a fight over the distribution of ration in the district.
The victim’s relative said that it was a painful situation for the whole nation and added that the people were not safe in the state.
Locals held a protest in the area and blocked the Rajouri-Poonch national highway demanding action against the accused.
The protest was called off after police administration officers promised to take action against the accused.
