Four policemen on patrol duty were killed when an improvised explosive device (IED) planted by militants went off in Sopore in north Kashmir. Militants had planted the IED near a shop in a lane between the \u2018Chotta Bazaar\u2019 and \u2018Bada Bazaar\u2019 in Sopore in Baramulla district and detonated it when policemen reached the scene, an official said.<\/i><\/p>\n
Former chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted: \u201cVery sad news from #Sopore. May the four brave J&K police personnel killed in the line of duty today rest in peace.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
J&K Congress chief G.A. Mir condemned the killing and said the incident had exposed the tall claims of the Mehbooba government about the Kashmir situation being normal. The central and J&K governments were engaged in concealing the truth, he alleged.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
