Srinagar: A car on Saturday morning exploded near A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) vehicle slightly damaging it near Jammu and Kashmir's Banihal town. Earlier it was believed that after one of the gas cylinders of the car caught fire but now according to the reports, security agencies have found a suicide note near the site that reveals that it was Hizbul Mujaheddin that attempted the attack. The driver of the car is still untraced and is believed to have escaped from the scene after setting the car in neutral gear towards the moving convoy.

As per report, the explosion in the car occurred right at the moment when a CRPF convoy of 10 vehicles was passing from the side. All the personnel escaped unhurt. The private car reportedly was on way to Jammu from Srinagar when the suicide squad member of Hijbul Mujaheddin tried to ram the car into the convoy.  The explosion created panic in the area as it was similar to what happened on February 14 in Pulwama when a vehicle laden with explosives rammed into a CRPF convoy resulting in 40 personnel losing their lives. After the blast, the police had acted swiftly and a team of experts was rushed to check if the blast was deliberate.
