A motorcycle, believed to be used by militants, has been recovered, police said. PTI reports that Hizbul Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for the attack.
This is the second attack in Srinagar, the state capital, in the last two days. The city has been on high alert after suspected militants shot dead two policemen on Saturday.
