Srinagar, Jan 3: Two militants, including wanted Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ultra Salim Parray, were killed in two encounters with security forces here on Monday, police said.
Another slain militant was a Pakistani national, they added.
A search operation was launched by the J-K Police and the CRPF in the Harwan area on the outskirts of the city, a police spokesman said.
During the operation, the security forces’ party was fired upon indiscriminately by a hiding terrorist, he said. The fire was effectively retaliated leading to a brief shootout in which dreaded terrorist Salim Parray, linked with proscribed terror outfit LeT, was eliminated, the spokesman said. (PTI)
