A three-year-old boy survived as his grandfather was killed in a terror attack on the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Jammu and Kashmir's Sopore town this morning.
A CRPF jawan was also killed in the line of duty as terrorists opened fire on a patrol team.
In heart-wrenching images, the child is seen sitting on the blood-splattered body of his grandfather, a civilian caught in the crossfire.
The child was travelling in a Maruti car with his grandfather from Srinagar to Handwara when it was hit by a spray of bullets in Sopore town.
According to the CRPF, the boy's grandfather stopped the car and got out to run to a safe spot but was shot dead in firing by terrorists. The boy was later rescued by a policeman standing nearby.
