Naveed escaped after his aides shot two of the three policemen who were accompanying him to Sri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital (SMHS) here for medical check-up on Tuesday.
One of the injured cops, Head-Constable Mushtaq Ahmed of f Dildar Karnah, died minutes after being shot, while the second cop, Babar Ahmad Khan resident of Shangus Achabal, who was battling for life in a City hospital died later in the Tuesday afternoon.
The attack by the LeT to free Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Mohammed Naveed Jat took place around 11.35 am inside the busy SMHS hospital complex in a high security area of this summer capital.
It ended with the killing of the two policemen as militants escaped into the narrow lanes of downtown Srinagar, a police official said.
