When the packet was being opened, the accused attacked one of the police officials and snatched his service rifle. He fired at the police party and tried to flee from the spot.”

“In retaliation, the accused got injured and was shifted to Government Medical College Jammu along with an injured police official. The injured terrorist later succumbed to his injuries,” said the official.
