Alert Cop Uncovers Cavity In Truck Meant For Ferrying Militants To Kashmir indiatoday.in

A major tragedy was averted when an alert policeman, who was injured in a gunbattle with a group of militants at a toll plaza here on Friday, uncovered a cavity inside the truck meant to ferry the armed terrorists to the Kashmir Valley. Three Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants were killed in the gunbattle that broke out after a group of terrorists, travelling in a truck, opened fire at a police team at a toll plaza on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway here.

Bhim Raj, who is a constable with the Nagrota police station and deployed for checking at the Bann Toll plaza, said he was unarmed and could not retaliate. "Around 5 am, we intercepted a truck, JK03F-1478, for routine checking. The driver, along with two more persons, was in the front seat of the truck and told us that they are carrying medicine and other items to Kashmir. But we were not satisfied," Raj, who is undergoing treatment at the Government Medical College (GMC) hospital here, said.
