Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday visited the AIIMS trauma centre here to inquire about the health of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Amit Kumar, who was injured in a counter-terrorist operation in Pulwama.
Singh later tweeted, "Officers like him lift the morale of the forces with their action. I salute his courage and the bravery exhibited by his team."
Kumar, a 2006 batch IPS officer, posted as DIG South Kashmir in Anantnag district, was hit by a bullet during an operation in which three terrorists were killed on February 18.
