3 terrorists killed, 4 Security Personnel Injured in Srinagar encounter

Three terrorists were killed while three policemen and a paramilitary trooper were injured during an overnight encounter in the outskirts of Srinagar on Friday.

The firefight between terrorists and security forces took place after a joint team of the police and the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about presence of terrorists.

Police said that one of the slain militants was involved in the December 13 attack on the police bus in Srinagar.

According to police officials, one of the killed terrorists has been identified as Suhail Ahmad Rather and he was affiliated with the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror outfit. The proceedings to identify the other three terrorists are currently underway, the officials said, adding that arms and ammunition, along with other incriminating material, have been recovered from the site.

“A terrorist identified as Suhail Ahmad Rather, affiliated with terror outfit JeM, along with two other unidentified terrorists neutralised in an encounter with security forces in Srinagar late night,” said Vijay Kumar, the inspector general of Kashmir Police.

“Incriminating material including arms and ammunition recovered.”

“As revealed during yesterday’s Press Conference, terrorist Suhail was also involved in Zewan Terror Attack. All involved in the Zewan attack have been neutralised,” Kashmir Zone Police on Twitter quoted Kumar as saying.
