Police said a case under relevant sections of law has been registered in the concerned Police Station and investigation has been initiated." Huzaif is the second teenager to have been killed in last 36 hours. Terror plagued Kashmir had slipped into a shock on Friday when dreaded Hizbul Mujhadeen released a bone-chilling video of shooting an abducted teenager Nadeem Manzoor in cold blood in the Pulwama district of south Kashmir.
The killings have evoked a sharp reaction from the mainstream parties while as separatist groups have withdrawn into a shell.
