CRPF IG Ravideep Sahi told TOI that six CRPF men received splinter injuries when terrorists threw a hand grenade at the post manned by the CRPF's 144 Battalion. All six men were stable and in a hospital, the CRPF said.
The grenade explosion created panic among patients in the nearby hospital. Ground reports suggested that gunshots followed the explosion. A police team was at the spot to assess the situation.
Eyewitnesses said the security forces launched a search in the area, including on the hospital premises. Nobody had been arrested when reports last came in.
