The terrorists had attacked CRPF¡¯s road opening party when they were placing a check post along with personnel of Jammu and Kashmir police on the Sopore by-pass highway in Model Town of Sopore.
The area has been sealed and a search operation has been launched. Officials of the Indian Army and police have also reached the spot.
The emotional trauma that the three-year-old child is probably going through due to such a dastardly incident, is just unimaginable. It just shows how cruel this world can be.
Humanity, in this case, is most certainly, dead.
Last week, a six-year-old boy was killed during a terror attack on the CRPF in Anantnag. Nihaan Bhat was sleeping in a parked car when he was hit by a bullet. Police say the terrorist was on a bike and opened fire on a CRPF patrol, using a pistol .
