Indian police station in Punjab attacked by gunmen

Indian security forces are battling gunmen who stormed a police station in northern Punjab state, close to the border with Pakistan.
The attackers first hijacked a car and then opened fire at a bus station before entering a police station in Gurdaspur district, officials said.
Five people, including two policemen, have been killed and at least six wounded.
Police believe that the attackers are from Indian-administered Kashmir.
Dinkar Gupta said that police were exchanging gunfire with the attackers who have occupied the police barracks.
Such assaults are common in disputed Kashmir, but attacks in neighbouring Punjab are extremely rare.
Security forces have been sent to the area as reinforcements. The dead include Punjab's Superintendent of Police (Detective) Baljit Singh, Gurdaspur Police chief Salwinder Singh told BBC.
