Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and two others injured in a terrorist attack on the outskirts of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir today.
The two injured are admitted to a hospital at present, officials said.
Terrorists opened fire at a CRPF convoy which was patrolling the Srinagar-Baramulla Highway in Lawaypora today. The officials retaliated but the terrorists managed to escape, stealing a rifle from a jawan.
Terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was involved in the attack, Inspector General of Police in Kashmir Vijay Kumar said.
One of killed CRPF officials was identified as assistant sub-inspector Manga Ram Barman from Tripura, an official told news agency ANI.
The area has been cordoned off, an official said.
"Around 3:45 PM, a patrol party unit was attacked by terrorists. The area has been sealed... It was a hit and run attack. Soon they will be either arrested or killed," CRPF Deputy Inspector General Kishore Prasad told ANI.
