Jammu : A police officer and his driver were critically injured Wednesday when a militant fired at them outside their office in Jammu and Kashmir's Mendhar town.
According to police officials here, Deputy Superintendent of Police S.P. Yougal Manhas had reached his office and was getting out of the car when the militant fired indiscriminately. By the time his guards retaliated, the assailant had escaped.
