BUT FOR THEM-MORE WOULD HAVE
BEEN KILLED
JAMMU:
The terrorists who
enacted the massacre at Balijarala in Rajouri would have been able to kill
more innocents but for the resistance offered to them by the villagers.
As per sources the bride?s brother Sh Rajiv Sharma, a jawan in the Central
Reserve Police Force (CRPF) displayed unusual courage and determination
to face the challenge posed by the terrorists. Taking the gun from a member
of the Village Defence Committee he returned the firing, and engaged the
terrorists in the encounter for half an hour. However, he soon ran short
of ammunition which seriously hampered his fight back. Other members of
the Village Defence Committee alsojoined Rajesh Kumar and challenged the
terrorists. The resistance however, raised enough alarm amongst terrorists
to run away. As per reports two injured youths Suresh Kumar and Romesh
Kumar unmindful of their wounds, travelled on a matador to a nearby picket
of the Border Secretary Force at Parori, about 15 kms from the site of
the massacre and informed the security forces. The BSF personnel rushed
to the spot only to find that terrorists had given up their operation.
