A terrorist, hailing from ‘The Resistance Front (TRF)’, a local offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba’s, who was involved in the recent killing of Khanmoh’s Sarpanch, was neutralized by Jammu and Kashmir police in an encounter in the Nowgam area of Srinagar on Wednesday.
“Terrorists of proscribed terror outfit LeT/TRF involved in the recent killing of Khanmoh’s Sarpanch Sameer Bhat trapped in Nowgam encounter,” Kashmir Zone Police quoted Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Vijay Kumar in a tweet.
