Three Pakistani terrorists were gunned down by security forces on Wednesday in an encounter at Najibhat crossing in the Kreeri area of the Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Kashmir Zone Police also said, “One Jammu and Kashmir police personnel also attained martyrdom in this chance encounter.”
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir informed that incriminating materials including arms and ammunition recovered.
The encounter started on Wednesday morning in kreeri area of Baramulla. “Police and Army on job,” Kashmir Zone Police tweeted.
According to reports, police said that based on specific inputs about the presence of terrorists in the Kreeri area, security forces launched a cordon and search operation which later turned into an encounter after the hiding terrorists fired at the security forces.
The entire area has been cordoned off and combing as well as search operation is underway.
The Wednesday’s encounter comes just hours after terrorists killed a policeman in Srinagar. The cop’s daughter, who was clinging to him when the terrorists fired at him, suffered injuries.
