Inspector Kuldeep Kumar of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was killed in a terrorist attack in Udhampur district, Jammu and Kashmir, while on patrol with local police. The attack occurred on August 19, shortly before elections in the region, triggering a massive manhunt for the assailants. Kumar's death is part of a troubling trend of increased violence in Jammu, with multiple recent incidents resulting in the deaths of security personnel and civilians. The Indian government has responded by deploying additional troops to enhance security in the area. Despite previously experiencing relative calm, the Jammu region is now facing a resurgence of terror activities, raising concerns about safety ahead of the upcoming elections. Security forces are under pressure as they navigate the complex terrain of the region, which is known for its infiltration issues and militant activities.
