Srinagar: A paramilitary trooper was killed in an ongoing gunfight with militants holed up in a building after a failed terror bid on a CRPF camp in Srinagar, police said. The trooper was wounded in the shootout as the security forces prepared for a final assault against the holed-up militants, a police officer said.
He was shifted to the nearby SMHS hospital, barely 300 metres away from the site of the gunfight and died later. It was the same hospital from where Pakistani LeT militant Naveed Jat alias Abu Hunzullah managed to escape on February 6 after killing two policemen. Police said residents in the vicinity have been evacuated to safety.
Troops of the CRPF and the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police were carrying out the operation against the militants. Kashmir police chief S P Vaid in a tweet said: "I congratulate alert CRPF sentry for averting Suicidal attack at Karan Nagar in Srinagar. Fortunately, two terrorists are in cordon & exchange of fire going on."
