Kanav Sharma, the district head of the BJP Yuva Morcha in Jammu, was shot, after which he was taken to the hospital. His father, senior advocate Chander Mohan Sharma, informed the media that his son's condition is stable.

"One of them took out a revolver and fired two rounds, one of which hit Kanav," Sharma said.
