Srinagar, May 04:A top Lashker-e-Toiba ‘commander’ was among two militants killed in a gunfight at Nathipora area of north Kashmir’s Sopore on Tuesday, officials said.
The encounter had ensued after a team of police, CRPF and army’s 22 Rashtriya Rifles was fired upon during a cordon-and-search operation launched in the area amid specific information about the presence of the militants, a police spokesman said.
“The joint cordon and search operation was launched on the information provided by Kupwara police,” the spokesman said.
He said during the search operation as the presence of militants was ascertained they were given an opportunity to surrender. However, he said, they fired indiscriminately upon the joint search party, which was retaliated, leading to an encounter.
