On (Sunday) morning, repeated announcements were again made to hiding militant to surrender, but the militant fired on joint search party which was retaliated and so far one militant identified as Jahangir Ahmad Wani son of late Abdul Rehman Wani resident of Rakh Narapora Shopian, affiliated with proscribed militant outfit LeT was killed.”

As per police records, he said, the killed militant was active since 01/09/2020 and was involved in several militancy-related cases including attacks on security forces.
