Viral Sach: CRPF jawan brutally attacked by mob in Kashmir?

NEW DELHI: A video has emerged showing a mob targeting the Jammu and Kashmir security force personnel by pelting stones and raising anti-Indian slogans. The viral video features a CRPF personnel using immense restraint even when he is attacked by an angry mob at a polling booth in Srinagar. The video shows the Jawan walking when suddenly a civilian attacks the soldier. The impact of the attack makes the Jawan's helmet roll down the road. This caused him some injuries. "The video makes it clear how patient CRPF's jawans are even if protesters misbehave with them. They are working with highest level of self restraint in valley. Jawan was equipped with weapons but did not retaliate because there would have been many causalities if he had fired," Bhavesh Kumar Chaudhary, CRPF PRO, said. "The security personnel gave more importance to the polling parties and EVMs as they were their first priority," he added. "This video is not made by our security personnel. We also got this through the social media. An unknown person has made this video and uploaded it. After seeing the circumstances, we think that this can be from some area of Budgam. We are trying to ascertain the exact location," CRPF PRO said. Bhavesh also expressed his concerned towards the soldiers who worked in such conditions in Kashmir. Eight people were killed in firing by security forces as unprecedented election-day violence marred the by-poll for Srinagar Lok Sabha seat today which saw the voter turnout plunge to an all-time low of 7.14 per cent. Rampaging mobs took to streets in scores of places across the Lok Sabha constituency straddling Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal districts, perpetrating wanton violence and arson, even setting ablaze a polling station and attempting to set on fire two others, amid a boycott called by the separatists.
