The two men – one of whom came from Bihar and the other person from Nepal – were working at a private school at Bondialgam in Anantnag district.

The Kashmir Zone Police said both of them were shifted to a hospital.

"Terrorists fired upon two outside labourers (one from Bihar and second from Nepal), who were working at a private SAPS school at Bondialgam in Anantnag district. Both of them are being shifted to the hospital," tweeted Kashmir Zone Police.

Additional director general of police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar, said the victims were called by terrorists on the pretext of some work and attacked.

"This is a #cowardice & inhumane act of #terrorism. The victims were called by terrorist to come out to engage in a work. Once both came out, #terrorist fired upon them with pistol," Kumar said in a tweet.

He said an investigation was underway. "We are investigating on top priority. Culprit would be brought to justice soon," he added.
