Security forces in Rajouri foiled a terror plot by recovering an Improvised Explosive Devise on the road. Police recovered the IED after receiving a credible input on “some suspicious movement”. Special operations groups of police and Indian Army launched a joint cordon and search operation.
The bomb was later destroyed in a controlled explosion in a safer location, SSP Rajouri told Newsquiz.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha condemned the terror attack on Sarpanch Manzoor Ahmad Bangroo. He assured strict punishment for the perpetrators of the “despicable act”, who he described as “vile” and “despotic”.
