Additional Director General of Police Law and Order, Munir Ahmad Khan told The Kashmir Monitor that the investigation into the case was currently on.

“We are ascertaining the facts. Rest I can’t divulge you the details about the case,” he said.

The incident has sent shivers down the non -locals truckers who are at the forefront of shipping apples to outside Mandies and bringing essential supplies to Kashmir.

 “Most of the truck drivers have shifted to north Kashmir for loading apples. Hundreds of non- local truck drivers have arrived in Kashmir to ship apples to outside the state markets,” said Anand Kumar, a truck driver from Punjab

Sources said the killing of the truck driver failed to create any adverse impact in the fruit mandis of central and north Kashmir. “Truck drivers did their routine work in Parimpora Fruit Mandi.,” Bashir Ahmad Bashir, president Parimpora Fruit Mandi, told The Kashmir Monitor.
