‘No weapon was snatched from slain armed forces personnel at Pampore’

Srinagar: Inspector General of Police Kashmir range Vijay Kumar on Tuesday said that it is not possible to check each and every vehicle on the Kashmir highway as that would lead to chaos while as frisking of vehicles is carried out only when there is specific information or a lead.

“The two militants riding a bike carried out the attack. One was a local militant and another foreigner. Both will be neutralized soon,” the IGP said, adding that “Cordon and Search Operation was launched in many areas yesterday after the attack, but militants managed to flee. We have identified both of them and they will be killed soon.”

About frequent attacks on armed forces personnel on highways, the IGP said that there was nothing to worry as “situation was under control.” “We are working on a plan to prevent highway attacks,” he said, refusing to elaborate further.

Present on the occasion, IGP CRPF (operations) Kashmir Deepak Ratan while replying to a query that whether weapons of two slain armed forces personnel were snatched, he said that no weapon was snatched by the militants.
