A former militant of the Hizbul Mujahideen outfit was killed by separatist guerrillas in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district Saturday evening, police said Sunday.
Shabir Ahmad Mir, the 33-year-old former militant, was shot at inside his home in Ramnagri village, a senior police officer told IANS.
He was taken to a hospital, but succumbed to his injuries en route.
Sources said Mir had surrendered before security forces some years back and had been living a normal life in his village.
No guerrilla group claimed responsibility for the attack.
