Meanwhile, one person was injured when he was found fiddling with some explosive in the Banyari area of North Kashmir's Bandipora districton Thursday evening.
Reports said that early in the morning at about 10 AM suspected militants lobbed a grenade towards a patrolling party of CRPF near the Jammu & Kashmir Bank's Pampore branch in the Kadlabal area. The grenade exploded with a big bang causing injuries to five persons. The injured included three CRPF personnel and two employees of Municipal Committee, Pampore.
Immediately after the blast police, CRPF personnel and local population swung into action and shifted the injured persons to the hospital for treatment. The grenade exploded on the national highway that leads to Jammu from Srinagar. The condition of the injured persons is said to be stable with no serious injury being reported.
The CRPF personnel injured in the blast were identified as constable P L Masrucar, Constable Mohan Kumar and Constable Rajesh Roshan. All of them belong to the 110 BN of CRPF and the battalion is based at Pampore. The injured civilians were identified as Mehraj-ud-din Sheikh, resident of Sangam and Latif Ahmad Sheikh, resident of Yarigam.
Police officials said that all the injured have sustained minor splinter injuries and their situation is stated to be stable. The grenade blast triggered panic in the area and people ran for safety. Immediately after the grenade attack Police, CRPF and Army cordoned off the area and launched searches to nab the grenade throwers. The search operation was carried out for few hours but no arrests were made.
