Three militant and a police man died in a shoot at Jammu and Kashmir
SRINAGAR: In a shootout on Monday three suspected guerrillas and a policeman were killed in Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
Police had set up a check post at Qamarwari Chowk in Srinagar city, 8 kilometre from city centre Lal Chowk, after specific information about the possible movement of guerrillas in the area, a senior police officer said.
The police officer informed, “Three motorcycle-borne people approached the Naka and they were signalled to halt, upon which they fired at a head constable who died because of the critical bullet injury.”
“Retaliatory action was immediately taken by the other police personnel who fired at the fleeing motorcycle-borne assailants, killing all three,” said a police officer.
Police said they have recovered two pistols and five grenades from the slain guerrillas. The area has been cordoned off and the identity of them is still to be find out.
