  • In Jammu : Unidentified gunmen kill one, injure three civilians

    One person was killed and three others injured Friday when unidentified gunmen wearing army uniforms fired at a private vehicle in Kathua district of the Jammu region.

    A senior police officer told IANS the unidentified gunmen stopped a Mahindra Balero vehicle at Dayala Chak in Kathua district on the Jammu-Pathankote national highway at around 4.30 a.m. Friday.

    After hijacking the vehicle, the gunmen attacked an army camp near Janglote in the same district where a gunfight started between them and security personnel.

    "The gunmen, reportedly three to four in number, have escaped in the same vehicle. A high alert has been sounded and a massive effort has been launched to hunt down the assailants",.

    Eleven people -- five policemen, a civilian, two army men, including a major, and three terrorists -- were were killed in the 2013 terror attack.

    After attacking the Hira Nagar police station, the terrorists had entered an army camp on the Pathankote-Jammu national highway near Samba town and killed a major and a soldier.

    BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had addressed an election rally in Hira Nagar town Wednesday.
