In an improvised explosive device (IED) blast, an assistant sub-inspector of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) 153 Battalion, Muhd Aslam was injured on Sunday.

Meanwhile, at the Pegdapalli-Sunil post, Naxals planted the IED. At 8:45 am on Saturday, the incident occurred near Pegdapalli village under the Tarrem police station. The incident occurred when CRPF’s 153rd battalion was out on patrol.

Moreover, at a field hospital in Basaguda, the ASI was immediately rushed for treatment and his condition is stable now.

However, to lift the injured ASI all the arrangements have been made for a helicopter to a higher center referral for better treatment.

Earlier on 1 January in Srinagar there was an attempt to throw a grenade at a CRPF vehicle in a crowded area of MK Chowk, Srinagar. When a grenade was thrown at the CRPF it missed the target and caused a minor splinter injury to one local boy in Srinagar.
