Rafiya was among two people who were killed in a grande explosion at busy Hari Singh High Street on Sunday. “She succumbed to injuries at around 8: 00 AM,” Medical Superintendent at SMHS Dr. Kamaljeet Singh said.

Rafiya was shopping with her mother and sister when a grenade was lobbed at a Sunday market. CCTV footage showed many people running helter-skelter for safety.

Mohammad Aslam Makhdoomi, 60, died on the spot, while 24 others were injured. Among the injured are women and children.  Rafiya was critically injured and her sister escaped with a minor injury in her leg.

“We got a call from the police about the incident. On reaching the hospital, we found her elder sister injured. Rafiya was being operated upon. This morning, we were informed that she has succumbed,” said a relative.
