Budgam: Two persons were killed and two others injured on Monday when an Army's ambush party allegedly opened fire on their car at Chatergam in the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Police sources say the troops started firing, allegedly at civilians in a Maruti car, after they failed to stop at a check-point despite being asked to do so.

The Army shifted the injured to a base hospital, where two persons succumb to their injured and condition of two other injured civilians is stated to be critical.

The incident took place at the same spot where two years ago, an Army team had allegedly killed two soldiers and injured three others in a case of "mistaken identity".

In a statement later in the evening, the Army said it regrets the loss of lives in the incident and has ordered an inquiry.
