“Threats Still Prevail”, Says J&K Chief After Attack On Cop In Srinagar

Dilbag Singh, the chief of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, stated on Monday that there are still threats and that officers need to take caution in light of instances like attack on a police officer who was playing cricket in a Srinagar playground.

Inspector Masroor Ahmad Wani of the Jammu and Kashmir Police was shot at by a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist on a cricket pitch in Srinagar on Sunday, leaving him critically injured.

“We have to be cautious. The threats are still around; we cannot take these so lightly. We have to be careful, we have to be cautious and I pray that he will come out of it,” Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function.

“One of our officers had gone out to have some fun, play cricket with people. He was playing in a cricket ground with a team of officers.He got a hit from (Anti-national elements) ANEs. He is injured, he is recovering, he is in the hospital,” he added.

“Elections or no elections, they (Pakistan) have always been trying to disturb peace here, ensuring that the militancy continues here but our brave force JKP with the support of other forces, including army and people, have been able to eliminate that design and ill intended actions by our adversary. I am sure that will continue,” he said.

“As of now, I see it as an aberration. Our people deployed there have tried to look at the causes as to why it has happened. They are still in the process of confirming and verifying. I will not be able to comment on this beyond this.

“What I can say is that the ceasefire understanding has brought a lot of respite to people living on the border on both sides and it has paid good dividends. I think that kind of understanding must continue,” he said.
