A 20-year-old woman was allegedly abducted by unidentified persons after they reportedly opened fire at a parked car outside a court complex in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district on Tuesday, officials said.
The woman, identified as Zalufa, a resident of Chak Gaja Dhar Sherpur in Kathua district, had accompanied her relatives to the court in connection with a legal case. The family had parked their private vehicle outside the court complex in Samba town.
