A terrorist was killed and a policeman injured on Monday in south Kashmir's Tral town when terrorists hurled a grenade at a police station to help a Hizbul terrorist escape from police custody.
Jammu & Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) SP Vaid said, “A terrorist, Mushtaq Ahmad Chopan, died in the grenade explosion when challenged by a sentry while trying to escape from Tral police station.”
A police constable sustained minor injuries in the blast. Chopan belonged to the Hizbul Mujahideen and had been in police custody.
