The deceased labourer was identified as Mohd Mumtaz, a resident of Sakwa Parsa in Bihar. The injured who are undergoing treatment at the Pulwama government district hospital are Mohd Arif and Mohd Majbool – both residents of Rampur in Bihar. Police said the condition of both are stable.

Condemning the attack, former deputy mayor of Srinagar Sheikh Imran said violence can never ever be justified in any of its manifestation.

"I unequivocally condemn the dastardly attack on non-local labourers in Pulwama where a labourer has lost his life. Violence can never ever be justified in any of its manifestation. My deep solidarity to bereaved family members & prayers for speedy recovery of the injured.
