Two Special Police Officers have been injured in Thursday's attack, which started around 9.30 pm in Basantgarh area.
An incident of firing late last night at a remote police post in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur may not have been a terrorist attack, police sources say.
They said they have failed to detect the presence of terrorists in the area and are now investigating what caused the firing. Sources say after the firing in which one special police officer (SPO) was injured, the Village Defence Committees or VDC started firing in panic. This continued for an hour.
There are 42 VDC members at Sang post area and during the night they didn't know what was going on. A police official said that every VDC started firing fearing a terrorist attack.
A police team that reached the Sang post in the Basantgarh area this morning found one SPO injured; he has been evacuated for treatment.
The late night firing at the post came a day after two Pakistani terrorists attacked a Border Security Force convoy on the national highway, about 10 from Udhampur town.
One of the terrorists was captured and has allegedly told interrogators that he has been trained by the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. He has shared details of how he infiltrated into India.
Around the time that the Basantgarh firing was reported on Thursday evening, there was an encounter at Kakpora in Pulwama district of south Kashmir. One terrorist of Lashkar-e-Taiba was killed. The terrorist was identified as Talib Husain, who according to police was involved in several attacks on security forces.
