Pir was standing outside a shop in Rawalpindi when assailants opened fire at him, according to reports.
Pir was allegedly in-charge of sending terror recruits into Kashmir by identifying infiltration routes and providing logistical support. He hailed from the Babarpora area of north Kashmir's Kupwara district.
