In a fierce encounter that once again exposes the cracks in India’s occupation of Kashmir, four Indian policemen were killed and several others injured in the Kathua district of Jammu on Tuesday. The gunfight, which began late evening, involved brave Kashmiri freedom fighters who stood their ground against the heavily armed Indian forces.
Indian authorities claim to have “neutralized” two fighters, but the cost was heavy – four Indian policemen lost their lives despite deploying special operations teams and night surveillance units. This incident has shattered the myth of peace in occupied Jammu & Kashmir, which the Modi regime desperately tries to portray to the world.
The crash took place in the Saida Sukhal village of the Hiranagar area, a region now turned into a warzone as India continues its military occupation and suppression of Kashmiri voices. One of the freedom fighters reportedly managed to hold off Indian forces for hours, challenging their might and exposing their vulnerability.
The so-called ‘encounter’ reflects growing resistance in regions like Jammu, where Indian propaganda once boasted of peace. It is now clear that the desire for Azadi is not limited to the Valley alone.
Senior police officials scrambled to the site, issuing routine statements about sacrifices and bravery, but none dared to address the deeper question – how long will India continue to bleed in a land that does not accept its rule?
As India continues to clamp down on voices of dissent, label freedom fighters as “terrorists,” and enforce silence through violence, the resilience of the Kashmiri people only grows stronger.
