BSF Truck Set Ablaze After Accident Leaves 3 Injured

Tension flared up in north Kashmir when a Border Security Force (BSF) vehicle was torched on Thursday evening after it met with an accident, which left three people, including a policeman and two women, injured.

The police said the accident took place between Buchoo and Haigam villages along the Srinagar-Baramulla highway, 35 from here, when a BSF truck hit a private car.
“A policeman in civvies was driving the car and after the accident, it skidded off the road leading to injuries to all three occupants. Locals rushed to the spot and damaged the BSF vehicle before setting it ablaze,” a police officer in north Kashmir said. The BSF men in the vehicle managed to escape from the spot in another vehicle which was escorting it.
