The Times of India, July 28, 2015
Three suspected jihadi terrorists armed with AK-47 rifles went on a rampage in Punjab's border district of Gurdaspur, killing three civilians and four policemen.The terrorists, suspected to be members of either Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Muhammed, killed seven people before Punjab Police commandos gunned them down in an agonizing 12-hour battle. Before storming the police station, the militants had also planted five bombs on nearby rail tracks.The casualties included four policemen -three young men of the Home Guards and superintendent of police Baljit Singh -all of whom were hit while staving off relentless firing from the attackers.
