In a first major militant attack in 3 years, a massive explosion targeted a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy on Thursday afternoon, killing several CRPF Personnel and wounding several others. Jaish-e-Mohammad has claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the bomber as a local militant. Sources say that the attack was likely carried out by a suicide bomber, who rammed an explosive-laden car into the CRPF bus.
Police state that the terrorist was named Adil Ahmad from Kakapora in Pulwama who joined the JeM in 2018. Over 20 people were injured in the terror attack, which reduced the bus to a mangled heap of iron. CRPF Inspector General in Kashmir Valley Zulfiqar Hasan described it as a “vehicle bound attack” and said Jammu & Kashmir Police has taken up the further investigation.
Kunal Kapoor, Actor and co-founder of Ketto said, “My heartfelt appeal to people, to come forward & support @ketto for their campaign to rehabilitate the families of @crpfindia martyrs. India lets stand up for those who gave their lives for our safety. Jai Hind”
Varun Sheth, CEO and co-founder of Ketto said, “Our deepest condolences to all the CRPF martyrs who lost their lives in the terror attack.
