An official told a local news agency Kashmir News Observer that a joint of team of police, army’s 34 RR and CRPF’s 14 battalion launched search operation in the area after receiving information about the presence of militants. Earlier in the day, the security forces had managed to neutralise three militants of The Resistance Front (TRF) in a separate gun battle. The slain militants, included the one involved in the recent killing of a non-local street hawker in Srinagar. The security forces had launched a cordon and search operation in Tulran, Imamsahab area of Shopian, in south Kashmir on Monday evening, after receiving specific inputs about the presence of militants in the area, a police official said. He said the search operation turned into an encounter after the terrorists fired upon the search party of the forces, who retaliated. In the ensuing gunfight, three terrorists were killed, the official said. The police said they belonged to TRF — a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
