On the 28th of June, two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were killed in an encounter. The Jammu and Kashmir security force and police killed the two leaders, including a top commander of the LeT Parimpora area in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.
The incident took place on the night of the 28th of June and the police confirmed about the two terrorist’s deaths on the 29th of June, Tuesday. One of the deceased terrorists was identified as top commander Nadeem Abrar.
The encounter took place after the Union Territory (UT) Police launched a search operation based on a specific input about terrorists carrying out an attack on a highway.
The Police said, “Keeping in view the seriousness of the input few joint nakas (checkposts) where (the) JKP and (the) CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) were placed along the highway.”
The spokesperson of Jammu and Kashmir police said, “On Parimpora naka (checkpost) a vehicle was stopped and their identity was asked. The person sitting at the back (Nadeem Abrar) seat tried to open his bag and took out a grenade. The police party swiftly swung into action and grabbed the person sitting at the back seat. Both the driver and the person sitting at the back seat were taken into police custody. After taking off his mask, it was identified that he was terrorist Abrar, a top LeT commander.”
While entering the house to search for the hidden weapons, Nadeem Abrar’s associate opened fire at the police. In the retaliation process, Nadeem Abrar and his associate (whose identity is yet to be known) were killed. Three officials including one constable, an assistant commandant and a sub inspector were left injured and are currently being treated at the military hospital.
The spokesperson said, “In the ensuing gunfire, the foreign terrorist who fired from inside the house got neutralised and Abrar also got killed. Two AK-47 rifles along with ammunitions were recovered from the site (sic.)”
Meanwhile, the police cordoned off the area and launched a search operation, following which they received two AK-47 rifles along with ammunition from the house.
