Srinagar, Dec 7: Condoling the death of a police officer in a terrorist attack, Jammu and Kashmir Police chief RR Swain on Thursday vowed to have stronger resolve in fighting terrorism in the Union Territory.
“The cowardly attack on a policeman enjoying a moment of leisure is a stark reminder of the vicious mindset perpetuated by terrorist networks operating at the behest of Pakistan. This tragic incident strengthened our resolve at the J-K Police to redouble our efforts in combating terrorism,” Swain said.
The DGP was condoling the death of Inspector Masroor Ahmad Wani, who succumbed to his injuries on Thursday while undergoing treatment at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, after he was shot by a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist.
He was shot by a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist while playing cricket with friends at Eidgah on October 29. He was 34 years old.

In his message, the DGP said, “As the Director General of Police, it is with profound sorrow that I extend my heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of Police Inspector Masroor Ahmad Wani.”
Today, we mourn the loss of Police Inspector Masroor Ahmad Wani, a courageous officer who valiantly served amidst the looming threat of terrorism. His sacrifice embodies the harsh reality our J&K policemen face, dedicating their lives to shielding our communities from the shadows of terrorism, as the DGP has stated.
The DGP has said that Inspector Wani’s tragic sacrifice reminds us of the immense challenges our personnel encounter daily, even in moments of leisure. It is a grim reminder of the perils faced by our brave personnel while safeguarding the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The sacrifices made by police personnel like Inspector Wani in Jammu and Kashmir will forever remain etched in our memories. His noble spirit and unwavering commitment to serving the community serve as a shining example to us all, the DGP has added.
In the face of this heartbreaking loss, our thoughts and prayers are with Inspector Wani’s family, friends, and the entire police fraternity. We stand united in mourning this profound loss and honouring his memory, the DGP has said.
