Bodies of three CRPF personnel,killed by militants,were on Wednesday flown to their respective home towns after a wreath laying ceremony here.

Head Constable Des Raj and Constables Pratab and Ramesh were killed when unidentified militants shot them from point blank range while they were on duty at the crowded Sopore bus stand,55 kms from here in North Kashmir last evening.

Pakistan based militant outfit Al-Badr claimed responsibility for the incident.

“The deceased were given full military honours before their bodies were flown to their respective towns,” CRPF spokesman P Tripathy said after the wreath laying ceremony.
