Srinagar: A video has surfaced showing a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan being attacked by an angry mob while he was returning from a polling booth in Srinagar.
The video, shot on Sunday, shows a group of angry youngsters targeting the CRPF personnel as they return from carrying out their duty in Budgam district.
Despite having weapons, the CRPF jawan showed the utmost restraint and chose to stay silent while walking down the street filled with the slogan-shouting mob.
