Search Op ongoing as terrorist snatches CRPF Jawan's weapon in J-K's Rajpora.

A search operation is currently underway near Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama after the weapon of a CRPF jawan on duty was snatched by a terrorist at Rajpora.

The terrorist immediately fled the spot after snatching away the Jawan's weapon. Confirming the incident, the CRPF added that the personnel was not hurt in the incident. He is a resident of Pulwama district, the force added.

The jawan was part of a CRPF team on patrol duty near the Rajpora area of South Kashmir's Pulwama district. The jawan was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle when he was ambushed, and the militant managed to get away with the automatic rifle.

Soon, more security personnel reached the spot and cordoned off the area. Units of the Indian Army, Special Operations Group (SOG) Pulwama and CRPF are on the group conducting search operations to retrieve the weapon and arrest the terrorist at the earliest.
