Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday arrived at the residence of his father, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah, following an assassination attempt against him at a wedding in Jammu.

"Allah is kind. My father had a very close shave. The details are sketchy at the moment but what is known is that a man with a loaded pistol was asked to get within range to discharge shot.

There are more questions than answers at the moment including but not limited to how someone was able to get this close to a Z+ NSG protected former CM," Omar Abdullah posted on X.
