2 cops hurt in Jorhat grenade attack

Two security personnel were injured in a grenade attack by a suspected ULFA militant this morning at Kenduguri By-pass here.

The militant hurled a hand grenade at an Assam police naka party checking vehicles at 2 No. Bamungaon at the Jorhat By-pass around 4:30 am when he was stopped by the party.

The militant was coming on a bicycle from the direction of Lahdoigarh and he did not stop at the signal of the policemen on duty. Four policemen were on guard at that place during the incident. The team tried to stop him, but he managed to escape after hurling the grenade, police sources said.

One Assam Police constable Keshab Gogoi and another Home-Guard personnel Bolin Sonowal were injured in the blast. The militant managed to escape under the cover of darkness. Both the injured persons were admitted to the Jorhat Medical College and Hospital. Both of them received multiple injuries in the lower parts of their bodies and legs. However, they are out of danger now.
