Srinagar: Eyewitnesses said a pistol-borne terrorist stopped near Arbind Kumar Sah's gol-gappa vending cart and shot him from point-blank range, killing him on the spot.
Arbind Kumar Sah was selling golgappas -- a type of street food -- in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar city with the hope to earn enough money to improve the lives of his poverty-stricken family back home in Bihar. However, that dream of the 30-year-old was snapped in a jiffy by his assassin who showered bullets at him near his handcart outside a park in the Eidgah area of the city.
Eyewitnesses said a pistol-borne terrorist stopped near Sah's vending cart and shot him from point-blank range, killing him on the spot.
Sah, a resident of Banka district in Bihar, would sell golgappas every evening to strollers who came to the park and had made a few friends among them.
"He was a hardworking man. He had dreams of getting his family out of poverty back in Bihar. But that dream has died today," a middle-aged resident who did not want to be named said.
