Pulwama Attack: Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan called back for consultation

New Delhi | Indian government today has called Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria back for consultation in wake of the terrorist attack on CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama.

Bisaria will be leaving for India tonight for the consultation work. Forty CRPF personnel were killed and five injured on Thursday in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad suicide bomber rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into their bus in Pulwama district.

More than 2,500 Central Reserve Police Force personnel, many of them returning from leave to rejoin duty in the Valley, were travelling in the convoy of 78 vehicles when they were ambushed on the Srinagar-Jammu highway at Latoomode in Awantipora in south Kashmir around 3.15 pm.

The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror group has claimed responsibility for the attack that took place about 20 km from Srinagar.
