Srinagar: In a Fidayeen attack (suicide attack) on the District Police Lines (DPL), a policeman was killed and six others have been critically injured in Pulwama district of the Kashmir valley.

The injured include two cops of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and three personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force.

“We have lost one policeman. The operation is going on,” said the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Munir Khan.

Militants stormed the DPL around 3:35 am on Saturday. According to reports they lobbed grenades and fired indiscriminately.

“Intermittent firing is still going on. Two militants are believed to be inside the DPL. The area has been cordoned off,” said a police official.

Meanwhile all the injured have been shifted to District Hospital Pulwama. From there they were referred to Srinagar in critical condition.

Mobile internet services have been barred in the district as ‘precautionary measure’ to prevent any kind of law and order situation.
