Militants on Sunday hurled a grenade at the residence of a National Conference (NC) leader in the Tral area of Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in injuries to a CRPF jawan, the police said.
The militants lobbed the grenade at the residence of Mohammad Ashraf Bhat, son of former NC MLA Mohammad Subhan Bhat, in Tral town, a police official said. He added that a CRPF jawan was injured in the grenade attack.
This was the third grenade attack targeting politicians in south Kashmir in the last three days. Earlier, militants had hurled grenades at the houses of ruling PDP MLAs at Real and Zainapora in Shopian district.
