A chilling 71-second video of an attack on a bank manager in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam has been shared by news agency ANI. The video - shot on a mobile phone recording CCTV footage played on a computer screen - shows a man dressed in black and wearing a face mask peering inside the bank on a couple of occasions and then appearing to leave. Towards the end he barges into the bank once more, this time carrying a gun and a bag. He appears still undecided, almost leaving but suddenly turns around and opens fire.

This is the second attack on a civilian in Jammu and Kashmir this week; on Monday, a school teacher was shot dead, also in Kulgam.
