Security forces on Thursday resumed a search operation in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district to track down two terrorists who attacked a CRPF post, injuring three personnel. In a separate operation in Baramulla, security forces arrested a man and recovered two hand grenades from a forest area.
Officials said the search operation in Kulgam was relaunched to locate the two assailants who opened fire on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) post near Mir Bazar on Wednesday afternoon.
The attack took place around 2.15 p.m., when two heavily armed men emerged from a cluster of trees and fired at the post. Three CRPF personnel were injured, one of them critically. The attackers fled into the nearby forest after the firing.
Security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation soon after the incident. Barricades and armoured vehicles have been deployed at several locations, while vehicles are being checked and frisked at security checkpoints. Officials said human and technical intelligence inputs were also being used to track the attackers.
Meanwhile, an Area Domination Patrol in the Baderkoot forests of Baramulla district led to the arrest of a suspect and the recovery of two hand grenades.
According to a police statement, the operation was jointly conducted by the Border Security Force, Rashtriya Rifles, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police. The arrested person was identified as Ghulam Jeelani Reshi, a resident of Baderkote in Tangmarg.
One hand grenade was recovered from his possession. Following his disclosure, security personnel recovered another grenade concealed in the forest.
An FIR has been registered at Tangmarg Police Station, and further investigation is underway to establish the source and intended use of the explosives and determine whether the accused has any links to other individuals or groups.
Baramulla Police said coordinated operations with other security agencies would continue to maintain peace and security in the district.
