Two terrorists snatched an AK-47 rifle from a policeman in Jammu on Sunday (March 26), injuring the personnel in the process. The policeman whose AK-47 was snatched and was injured by terrorists is personal security officer (PSO) attached with Maulana Syed Athar Dehalvi who is on a visit to J&K.
"Nothing will deter me from exposing Pakistan sponsored terrorism in J&K. I hope the PSO is healthy soon," said Maulana Syed Athar Dehalvi.
Soon after the incident, the J&K police swung into action and arrested one of the two terrorists who snatched the weapon while the other fled. On Sunday, a second person was arrested, based on the statement of the terrorist in custody.
