Security forces today have killed a terrorist from Lashkar-e-Taiba during an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s (J&K)’s Kulgam district. Two security personnel and two civilians were reported to have been injured in the shooting.

Kashmir’s inspector-general of police (IGP) Vijay Kumar said that a “major tragedy” was averted just days before India celebrates its 75th Independence Day on August 15 with the conclusion of the Kulgam encounter. Taking the official Twitter handle of Kashmir police informed that “Kulgam Encounter Update: Operation is over now,” Vijay Kumar further said, “A major tragedy has been averted before Independence Day.”

Sources said that the terrorists fired upon the BSF convoy yesterday, triggering the encounter. Soon, senior officers of J&K police, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Indian Army rushed to the spot to provide backup and cordoned off the area. The encounter continued throughout the night.

An official report has informed ANI “Around 3 pm [on Thursday], terrorists fired upon the convoy of BSF on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway near Malpora Mir Bazar area of Kulgam. However, the fire was retaliated by an ROP (road opening party) of the police and security forces,”

“The search proved difficult at night,” the security officials said. “So we searched this morning. The body of a Pakistani terrorist, identified as Usman, was recovered. An AK47, a grenade, and a rocket launcher have been found.” According to IGP Kashmir, the incriminating materials retrieved from the site show that a major incident was about to take place.

“The force party ensured not to give any chance to the terrorists to escape,” a police spokesperson said. “The terrorists managed to take shelter in a nearby huge building. The holed-up terrorists fired indiscriminately upon the joint party of police and security forces which was retaliated.” The injured are rushed to the hospital for further treatment.
