00:00All right, the news that's coming in, ladies and gentlemen, the injured CRPF jawans have been admitted to a nearby
00:05hospital.
00:07While two are stable and out of danger, one jawan of the CRPF is still critical.
00:14Images on your screen, we have blurred out the wounds, but I can tell you, it's a reminder, ladies and
00:19gentlemen,
00:20putting your life at risk every single day to keep us and the borders protected.
00:25The jawan who was shot in the abdomen is critical because one received an injury in the leg, in the
00:31arm and in the waist.
00:33So the one who got the injury in the waist and because I've seen the visual, the blood that has
00:38been coming out,
00:40it's clearly, it was a wound that could have proved to be fatal, but he's critical right now.
00:46And I hope with the billion press and the doctors on the job, they'll be able to, of course, ensure
00:51that the third jawan also is out of danger.
00:54Tell me more about this incident, Ashraf, what I'm trying to understand from these injuries, of course.
01:00It looks like, again, it was the attempt to at least injure, show the presence and then scoot.
01:06What do you feel in injuries like this of a nature that has been, that the CRPF jawans had to
01:12go through
01:12compared to, let's say, previous terror attacks that we've seen in Kashmir Valley with grenades, assault rifles and more?
01:19Yes, absolutely, actually, Pujat, the terrorists just want to show their presence and they want to show that they could
01:28carry out a terror attack
01:30at the place what the security agencies believe are the safer.
01:35That only is their motto, they know that they could not kill in the large numbers, the security forces,
01:42because security forces are also well prepared for such kind of terror attacks across the Kashmir Valley
01:47when they are being deployed here in the valley, that terrorist can come, he can shoot,
01:52and then the security forces have to respond.
01:55As earlier, we said that the three jawans which are injured, one of them has got the bullet in the
02:03thigh,
02:03he's being operated, he's out of danger, another one has got a bullet in the arm or some nearby that
02:10water body,
02:11and he's also fine, he's out of danger, he's being also treated in the GMC Government Medical College,
02:17and the third one who has got the bullet injury in the abdomen, that is a sensitive part of the
02:23body
02:23because he is being considered as the, he is serious.
02:27But still the efforts of the doctors here in the Kashmir, and particularly in the Government Medical College,
02:34are not to save that jawan and to help him to get well soon.
02:40So these are not the attacks to carry out for the killings, these are the attacks just by the terrorists
02:47to show their presence that they are everywhere.
02:50During the last three months, three such attacks had been carried out in the South Kashmir.
02:54One of them in the Kulgaum, where two non-local laborers were killed, but in the isolated place,
03:01and when they were working at a Brooklyn, and when they came out from the Brooklyn for some kind of
03:07a shopping,
03:08they were shot and killed.
03:09Both of them from Chhattisgarh, then another policeman who was on a special duty in Anantanag.
03:15He was away from his Naka party, and he was shot at a blank range.
03:23That footage was also captured on the CCTV.
03:25And then in that case, we have seen the similarity in all three cases.
03:31The terrorists had used the motorcycle, which is easy to pass from the traffic jams,
03:38because otherwise in the valley, everywhere you can witness the long queues of the vehicles,
03:43cars, even on the Jammu-Shrinagar National Highway, even on the Pahlgaum Road, even on the Kulgaum Road,
03:49and each and everywhere, because what I earlier said, that the number of vehicles is now too large across the
03:55Kashmir Valley.
03:56So most of the roads are getting very tight now for this traffic regulation.
04:02So the bikes were used in all the three of these terrorist incidents during the last three months by the
04:09terrorists.
04:09They come on the motorcycle, one of them drive, and another carry out the terror attack.
04:14Same has been repeated here, where two motorcycle-bound terrorists came towards this Naka party of CRPF.
04:21Then one of them was on the backseat, fired, and another was on the motorcycle in the running position.
04:28As they fired, when the CRPF responded, they fled from the spot and moved towards the other area.
04:36Now, only the focus here for the security agencies is back because these local terrorists or maybe the foreign terrorists,
04:43which is not yet Korea, unless and until the security forces will not identify these two terrorists through the CCTV
04:50footage
04:51and other intelligence methods, which are with the security agencies.
04:55Till then, they are at the run.
04:57And here, the first priority is to curb or to see where they had fled.
05:02The massive search and carton operation in the area and in the surrounding areas is underway,
05:08which is being conducted by the Jumat Kashmir police.
05:10Then move, visuals are coming in.
05:11It's heart-wrenching.
05:13Though we understand this looks like more of an operation to show presence,
05:16the injuries are not minor.
05:18It is leg, hand, abdomen.
05:21And that, Jawan, is presently critical right now.
05:24But if you notice carefully, and as we put those images on your screen,
05:27which are deferred images, I can tell you,
05:29you can notice under the chin as well, which is the neck and the chin.
05:33Below the chin, there is a mark that you can see on the Jawan.
05:37We do not understand right now about what kind of injury that is,
05:40but the fact that that injury is here and the abdomen, this could have turned fatal.
05:44These are Jawans from all parts of the country.
05:47Like I said, from Kashmir to Kerala.
05:49And they are deployed in sometimes very difficult circumstances to ensure we can have a safe
05:56visit, stay, whether for tourists, civilians or citizens.
06:00And anyone in this time, like it appears, terrorists who we do not have much details about,
06:05decide to come and shoot at them and they manage to retaliate.
06:08It's an alert 24-7, 365 days for the CRPF, for the Indian Armed Forces and of course for the
06:14JNK police.
06:15As Ashrafani continues to give us details, I want to tell you,
06:18two Jawans are out of danger, they are stable, but with injuries.
06:21And one Jawan is presently critical, the one on your screen.
06:24That is where all the focus right now to ensure he will be out of danger as well.
