Two more security personnel who sustained bullet injuries during the attack on the CRPF party are undergoing treatment at a hospital in Srinagar. The terrorists, however, managed to flee from the spot and hid in a nearby shop.

The security forces cordoned off the shop where the terrorists were suspected to be hiding. A massive search operation was launched in the area to nab the remaining terrorists.
