The incident occurred around 3:30 pm in the remote Dudu area of Basantgarh, where a joint patrol party of the CRPF and the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the J&K Police came under fire from terrorists.
During the exchange of fire, an inspector from the 187th battalion of the CRPF was hit by a bullet. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. The terrorists fled the scene after facing strong retaliation from the joint patrolling party.
