KULGAM: Joint security forces on Sunday launched a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) near Mir Bazar in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district to trace and apprehend the attackers involved in the firing on CRPF personnel.
Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat and Inspector General of Police Kashmir Sujit Kumar were present at the spot to oversee the operation.
The searches follow an attack on November 11, when three CRPF personnel were injured after unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire on security personnel deployed at a naka in Kulgam.
According to officials, the incident took place around 2:15 pm. The attackers fled immediately after firing at the personnel. The CRPF had confirmed that three of its personnel sustained injuries and that operations were underway to nab those responsible.
Further details are awaited.
