SRINAGAR: At least six people have been critically injured in a grenade attack by suspected militants in Kashmir capital Sringar, police said.
A police vehicle was ferrying a detainee to north Kashmir’s Baramulla district from here when it was attacked at Batmalloo market.
“The grenade exploded inside the vehicle injuring four policemen and a detainee,” a police officer told PTI.
A passerby was also injured in the explosion, he said.
All the injured have been shifted to hospital where doctors treating them described their condition as critical.
Senior police and paramilitary officers rushed to the explosion site immediately after the incident.
The busy Batmaloo market and the bus stand there bore a deserted look following the explosion as people had run for cover after the blast.
