| Two Indian paramilitary police officers were killed and eight others injured on Friday when their vehicle ran over a bomb planted by suspected separatist militants in Kashmir, police said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place near Sangam town, 40 kilometres south of Srinagar. A police official said damage to the vehicle had been substantial. An air marshal on a flight out of Kashmir was arrested on Friday for allegedly sexually harassing a female passenger, police said. Angry passengers who witnessed the incident refused to let the plane take off from Srinagar until the man was removed from the plane, said GM Dar, a senior police officer at Srinagar airport. Only after he was arrested did they discover that he was an air marshal. The marshal reportedly handed a women a note saying he loved her and then made suggestive comments like, "Are you feeling the heat of love?" and "Don't be afraid of me, I'm also young." The 28-year-old marshal has been charged with verbally harassing the woman, said Dar. |
