The three terrorists, who were all linked to JeM, were killed in a gunfight that began early this morning in Pulwama. The security forces had received information about the terrorists’ presence.
The terrorists were identified as Asif Ahmed Sheikh, Amir Nazir Wani, and Yawar Ahmed Bhat, all associated with the Pakistan-based terror group, sources said.
Earlier, the local police said around 6 am that an encounter had started in Tral, Pulwama.
In a separate statement, news agency IANS reported the Indian Army as saying that a cordon and search operation was launched by the Army, the J&K Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), at Tral’s Nader area based on specific intelligence input.
“Suspicious activity was observed by vigilant troops and on being challenged, terrorists opened heavy fire and fierce gunfight ensued,” read the statement.
Sources further said that the police are establishing whether the Asif killed is the same Asif suspected to have provided support to terrorists who carried out the massacre at Pahalgam on April 22.
