Jammu and Kashmir: Whenever Pakistan talks peace with India, terror attack and infiltration attempts take place. Just days after offering peace deals with India, Pakistan trained Terrorists to attack the CRPF party in the Lawaypora area on the outskirts of Srinagar city. Three CRPF personnel has been martyred and two others injured in the lawaypora terror attack. Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPF have launched massive search operations in the area.
The resistance front has taken responsibility for the attack on Indian security forces. The first signs of TRF emerging as a strong militant group were visible when the J-K Police busted a module of over-ground workers (OGWs) in Sopore last year. IN OCTOBER last year, a grenade thrown at a street market in Srinagar city exploded wounding a few vendors. An unknown militant outfit, The Resistance Front (TRF), claimed responsibility, but the security agencies trashed it as an “act of miscreants” to force a shutdown in the Valley.
Six months later, the little-known outfit is taking to the centre stage of militancy in Kashmir with its involvement in the recent encounters that resulted in heavy damage to the army and paramilitary forces. The security officials, however, say the militant outfit is a front of Lashkar-e-Toiba, working together with other militant outfits and is new only in its name.
“After the abrogation of Jammu Kashmir’s special status, Pakistan was under pressure to do something from its constituency in Kashmir. So it decided to increase the pitch of militancy in Kashmir,” a senior police official and an expert in counter-insurgency operations told The Indian Express. “But with FATF (Financial Action Task Force) timelines on the back of its mind, it has decided to cast a new militant outfit that is secular in its name,” he said.
As per official confirmations: Two CRPF jawans martyred in a cowardly attack by Pak sponsored terrorists. Prayers for 35 year old CRPF Jawan Jagan Nath Roy from West Bengal who received bullet injury on his head and is critical in 92 Base Hospital, Kashmir. Two CRPF Jawans Manga Deb Barma of Tripura and Ashok Kumar of Himachal Pradesh were killed in action in the terror attack.
