TOP Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Nadeem Abrar and a Pakistani national were killed in an encounter in the Parimpora area in Srinagar, police said on Tuesday (29).
Abrar, who was involved in many killings, was arrested during the checking of vehicles at Parimpora on Monday (28) and put on sustained interrogation.
According to a spokesman, he disclosed the location where he had kept his AK-47 rifle in Maloora locality.
There was a specific input about terrorists carrying an attack on highways. Keeping in view the seriousness of the input, few joint check-posts of JK Police and CRPF were placed along the highway, he added.
"On Parimpora Naka (check post), a vehicle was stopped and their identity was asked. The person sitting at the back seat tried to open his bag and took out a grenade. The police party swiftly swung into action and grabbed the person sitting in the back seat," the spokesman said.
"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."
He said a pistol and some hand grenades were recovered from Abrar.
From there, Abrar was taken to the house to recover the weapon (AK 47 rifle) after cordoning off the suspect's house, the spokesman said, adding that the party was entering the house when one of his associates, a Pakistani terrorist hiding inside the premises, fired at the party.
In the initial round of fire, three CRPF personnel were injured and Abrar accompanying the search party also got wounded, the spokesman added.
"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 ammunition were recovered from the site,' he said.
