The infiltration bid came on a day when violence marred polling for the Srinagar Lok Sabha by-elections, where eight people were killed and about 100 security personnel were injured.
On Sunday evening, the terrorists fired upon a police station in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district. The police retaliated forcing the terrorists to flee.
