Meanwhile, three members of The Resistance Front terror outfit were neutralised by Indian security forces in an encounter in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (12). Police sources said arms and ammunition and other incrimination materials were also found from their possession.
The elimination of the terror outfit members happened a day after five Indian soldiers, including a junior commissioned officer, were killed in a gunbattle with armed terrorists in a forested zone at Surankote in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Monday (11).
The security situation in Jammu and Kashmir has become tense in the recent past as terrorists have targeted civilians from the minority sections, causing a number of deaths, including two government school teachers last week.
