Just in: Operation to flush out terrorists at the Gurdaspur police station is over. A swat team from Jammu and Kashmir are now inside the police station for sanitising ops.
In the first major terror strike in Punjab in eight years, heavily-armed
terrorists in army uniform on Monday sprayed bullets on a moving bus
and stormed a police station, killing six persons, including an
Superintendent of Police, and injuring eight others in Gurdaspur
bordering Pakistan.
Two terrorists were killed in the
gunbattle with security forces that stretched for over 12 hours as the
terrorists, who went of a rampage at around 5am, were holed up in a
vacant building adjacent to Dinanagar police station.
The terrorists have killed six persons -- three civilians and three
policemen including Superintendent of Police (Detective), Baljit Singh, a
Punjab provincial service officer, police said.
