Gurdaspur:The gunbattle between terrorists and security forces here finally ended after 11 hours.The intense battle required every available pair of hands to counter the group of terrorists who had forced their way into Dinanangar police station.
Members of the Special Forces of the Indian Army were deployed at the site of operation; however, the Punjab Police reportedly made it clear that they will lead the operation and they undoubtedly did.
The most surprising fact was that they fought this battle without bulletproof vests and helmets, in a situation, where terrorists were available with the weapons like AK-47 and heavy amount of Grenade.
At about 5.30 pm, Punjab police officers at the Dinanagar station chanted "Vande Mataram" as the operation was declared over and a success - the terrorists had been killed.
Here are the pics:
Three terrorists were shot dead 11 hours after they stormed a police station.
Punjab police's superintendent of police (detective) Baljeet Singh died in the operation.
Punjab Police personnel said they heard the terrorists shout ‘Allah hu Akbar’ — Arabic for ‘God is great’.
The attackers had AK-47s; the policemen fought back with dated SLRs - Self-Loading Rifles.
The attack will certainly raise tensions between India-Pakistan if it is proven to have originated across the border.
The gunmen shot dead a barber and tried to hijack a bus before rushing the police station.
Jitendra Singh, a junior minister in Modi’s office, said he did not rule out Pakistan’s involvemen
