Four personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) have been awarded the police medal for gallantry for intercepting and killing three terrorists who were trying to sneak into the Kashmir valley by hiding inside a truck. Constables Rahul Kumar, Muttamala Ravi, Mutum Bikramjit Singh and Anil Lakra displayed courage and engaged the terrorists in a gun battle on January 31 last year at the Ban Toll plaza in Nagrota, Jammu. A truck plying from Jammu to Srinagar was stopped at the plaza at around 5:30 am where a joint team of Jammu and Kashmir Police and the CISF were deployed for security checks. As the police asked the driver to open the goods carriage, a terrorist hiding inside the cavity was exposed and he opened fire, the CISF said.
