Militants on Thursday (February 6) hurled a grenade in the direction of a police station in the city, resulting in injuries to one policeman, officials said.

The militants lobbed the grenade towards the Lal Bazaar Police Station here which landed near a garbage dump, the officials said, adding that one cop sustained minor injuries in the blast.

However, the police are maintaining that it was a “mysterious explosion” near the garbage dump while it is being investigated.

Two militants and a CRPF jawan were killed in a shoot-out at Shalteng on the outskirts of the city on Wednesday (February 5) while one ultra was captured alive. The family of the captured militant claims that he had no terror links and was injured in the crossfire between security forces and militants.
