SRINAGAR, Dec 25, (AFP): Three Indian federal police are dead and another was injured following a shooting at a barracks in insurgency-hit Kashmir, an official said Sunday. The fatal incident happened late Saturday evening inside the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in the Himalayan town of Kulgam, about 90-minutes drive from Srinagar, the capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. "We have three CRPF personnel dead and one injured," a police officer told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak with the media. Other personnel inside the barracks at the time of the shooting were detained for questioning, he added.
