Two local Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) militants, believed to be behind a targeted killing of a policeman, were killed in a night-long anti-militancy operation on Monday.
“One of the killed terrorists, Abid Shah, was involved in the recent killing of unarmed policeman, Constable Reyaz Ahmad, at his residential house at Gadoora area of Pulwama on May 13,” Vijay Kumar, Inspector-General of Police, said.
The two JeM militants were surrounded by a joint team of the Army, the police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday after the Kulgam Police generated a specific input about their presence in Gundipora village of Pulwama. A joint cordon and search operation was launched and the hiding terrorists were trapped inside the residential house of Nazir Ahmad Mir.
