The fire came from a nearby street, police said.
The injured CRPF jawan was currently undergoing treatment in the hospital while different police teams were on the lookout for a terror suspect behind the attack.
In Jammu, DGP Dilbagh Singh told reporters, "in the last one week we have conducted four successful operations in which terrorists belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyeba were eliminated".
DGP Dilbagh Singh also claimed every time a VVIP is visiting Jammu and Kashmir an attempt is made by the Pakistan based terrorist handlers to send a signal 'all is not well' in the region.
Singh said it is evident the situation has changed drastically on the ground zero and we have hit the 'terror ecosystem'. Singh added, Pakistan is an enemy of development and lover of destruction.
They won't like people of Jammu and Kashmir to live in peace and heave a sigh of relief. Pakistan and its agencies are ensuring that the valley remains not in peace but in disturbance.
