A Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and two Personal Security Officers (PSOs) suffered minor injuries on Monday when a tyre of their bulletproof vehicle burst near Ziyarat Sharief Syed Hassan Mantaqi in Awantipora. Officials said the tyre burst while the vehicle was moving, and the heavy weight of the bulletproofing may have contributed. A senior officer told Greater Kashmir that all injuries were minor and none of the personnel was in danger. The three were given medical treatment.
Minor accidents like a tyre burst are routine and should not be exaggerated into a security scandal. Yet, the mention of a bulletproof vehicle invites speculation about police preparedness and equipment quality. The real test will be whether the police investigate if the vehicle's armouring added excessive strain on the tyres, leading to the burst. That finding will matter more than any knee-jerk criticism of the force.
