The Jammu & Kashmir Police on Friday said a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant has been killed and three Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) militants have been arrested in south Kashmir in two separate anti-militancy operations.
LeT’s Muneeb Ahmad Sheikh from Shopian’s Tak Mohalla was trapped inside a residential area during a midnight anti-militancy operation in Shopian’s Turkwangam area on Thursday.
“During the search operation, the hiding terrorist fired indiscriminately upon the search party. In the ensuing encounter, the LeT terrorist was killed and his body was retrieved from the encounter site,” the police said.
