The injured, the condition of one whom is stated to be serious, were taken to a nearby hospital, police sources said.
One of the injured was identified as Bhushan Bhai, a resident of Mumbai, who was on his way to Jammu after returning from the Amarnath yatra.
The area has been cordoned off, but no arrests have been made so far.
