Bloodshed in Jammu - five throats slit, one axed to death (Update)
Jammu : Unleashing a wave of terror in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, militants axed to death a woman and slit the throats of five men after segregating Hindus and Muslims in the village.
Both the incidents in separate villages in Rajouri district, about 200 km north of Jammu, took place Thursday night.
In what is being seen as the first major killing of Hindus in the last two years, five men in the age group of 40-60 were brutally killed when militants allegedly barged into their homes in Deb village in Rajouri.
Though initial reports said the five were gunned down, it later came to light that their throats were slit after the militants segregated Hindu and Muslim populations.
No group has claimed responsibility for the incident in the hilly village in the heavily forested area where a large number of militants operate.
Deputy Inspector General of Police Rajouri-Poonch range V.K. Singh said a police team had already left for the spot to investigate the incident.
Police have sounded an alert and asked pilgrims on their way to the cave shrine in Amarnath to stay with their convoys.
In the other incident late Thursday, a young woman, Shamima Akhtar, was axed to death in Jangloo village in Rajouri.
Police said the motive behind the killing of Shamima Akhtar, who was in her 20s, was not known as the village can be reached only after a trek of a few hours.
A police team has been dispatched to investigate the incident.
On Thursday militants had killed two women and a child in Sakora village in Jammu's Udhampur district.

Seems like they are now trying to slowly eliminate Jammu Hindus as well from the state, next they will target Ladakh Buddhists, Jammu and Ladakh should be separated from Kashmir and made into separate Union territories as soon as possible.
