Srinagar, May 29: An elderly man, later found to be mentally challenged, made an unsuccessful attempt on Monday to snatch a paramilitary trooper's rifle in Anantnag town in Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
Police said the man, in his 70s, tried to snatch the firearm from a Central Reserve Police Force trooper but was overpowered by other security personnel.
