The encounter had ensued after the join team launched a cordon-and-serach operation after specific input about presence of a militant in the area, he said. “As the joint party proceeded towards the suspected spot the hiding (militant) fired indiscriminately upon the joint forces which was retaliated leading to the killing of )militant) identified as Nadeem Ahmad Rather alias Kamran son of Abdul Rehman resident of Ashmuji Kulgam.”
