Two militants were killed in Srinagar and one intruder was shot dead by the BSF near the International Border (IB) in Jammu’s Arnia on Monday in Jammu and Kashmir.
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Muhammad Saleem Parray was trapped inside famous Mughal garden Shalimar in Srinagar in the afternoon. Policemen wearing civilian clothes carried out the operation “following a specific tip-off”.
“The police cornered Parray in Shalimar but he opened fire [at the security forces]. In the retaliatory firing, he was killed. His killing is a big success for the police. He was involved in around a dozen killings in 2016,” Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vijay Kumar said.
