The three terrorists who were killed in the Gurdaspur terror attack on Monday used special armour piercing bullets. Headstamp number 71 was written on the bullets which indicates that they were manufactured in China.
Bullet proof vests used by police could not have protected them against those bullets. One Punjab Police officer had been hit by such a bullet.
On July 27, 3 heavily armed terrorists dressed in army uniforms hijacked a Maruti car from the outskirts of Dinanagar in Gurdaspur after opening fire at the occupant of the car. Subsequently, these terrorists opened fire indiscriminately in the area around the bus stand, Dinanagar and also fired at a Punjab Roadways coming from Bamial.
Subsequently, the terrorists entered Dinanagar Police Station and opened fire on the sentry standing on guard duty. During the firing at the Police Station, Home Guard Rajinder Kumar and Home Guard Ashok Kumar were injured. SI, Mukhtiar Singh, the SHO of Police Station who was inside rushed out and was also fired upon and got injured.
The terrorists tried to enter the police station building while firing in an indiscriminate manner. HC Ram Lal, the night munshi of the Police Station grabbed the weapon of the sentry and bravely battled the terrorists. He ran inside the Police Station building and bolted the door from inside preventing the terrorists from entering the Police Station building.
Due to the indiscriminate firing at this spot 03 patients undergoing treatment at Kiran Hospital, adjoining the Police Station building, received bullet injuries, two of whom succumbed to their injuries.
The terrorists thereafter went to the premises behind the police station and entered the building being used as the office of the local detachment of the Punjab Home Guards, while firing indiscriminately. Three home guard officials present in this structure sustained bullet injuries and succumbed to their injuries.
