Pulwama, June 07: Terrorists hurled grenade on a police party in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama on Sunday, injuring seven civilians. The attack took place near a bus station in Tral area of Pulwama. The seven civilians suffered minor injuries in the attack and were immediately shifted to a nearby hospital. Security forces have cordoned off the area and a search operation is underway to catch the terrorists.
Days ago, BJP councillor Rakesh Pandita was killed by terrorists in Tral. A group of three terrorists had opened indiscriminate fire at the BJP leader around 10.
15 pm on Wednesday. Pandita had stepped out to visit his friend when he came under attack. He was a 'protected person' and had been provided with two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) and a secured accommodation in Srinagar. At the time of the incident, Pandita was without any PSO as he defied the standard operating procedure (SoP) and went to his native village in the south Kashmir district without his security.
Earlier on May 26, a similar attack was carried out by militants in Tral. Officials had later confirmed that militants lobbed a grenade in the direction of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) party. The attack had not resulted in any injuries or loss of life.
