Militant arrested after grenade attack on police party in Baramulla

SRINAGAR: A Tehreekul Mujahideen militant was on Wednesday arrested by security forces soon after carrying out a grenade attack in Baramulla district, injuring three cops, police said.

“Based on credible inputs that some terrorists are travelling on the Baramulla-Srinagar highway, a police team set up a checkpoint at Baba Teng Pattan,” a police spokesman said.

He said one of the vehicles was signalled to stop but the militants inside the vehicle hurled a grenade.

“One police officer, DySp Zafar Mehdi and two other cops -Shabir Ahmad and Ashiq Hussain — sustained injuries,” the spokesman said.

However, the other cops chased the fleeing militants and managed to apprehend one of them, he said. (AGENCIES)
