Police Activation and Face-off

Authorities were alerted to the presence of suspicious individuals in Basantgarh police station limits of Udhampur district late last evening. This prompted the activation of the security grid, with a police party, including VDG members, proceeding towards Chochru Gala Heights.

Upon reaching the area, a face-off ensued between the police party and the group of hiding terrorists. Unfortunately, in the initial exchange of fire, a VDG member sustained injuries, leading to the tragic loss of Mohammad Shareef.
