Srinagar, June 15: Five persons, including two policemen, were injured today as militants opened fire on a party of police and paramilitary CRPF carrying out random vehicle checking in Kak Sarai area of the city, police said.
Government forces had established special check points in many parts of the city, a day after senior journalist Shujaat Bukhari and his two personal security guards were killed in a militant attack.
“During the checking of vehicles at Kak Sarai, militants opened fire on the cops, who also retaliated,” a police official said.
He said two cops and three civilians were injured in the exchange of fire.
Immediately after the attack, the area was cordoned off and manhunt launched for the assailants, but no one was arrested.
