Two snuffies have been killed in an encounter with security forces in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, the police informed.
The encounter broke out early this morning in the Wanigam Payeen Kerri area of Baramulla after the security forces launched a cordon and search operation, while acting on specific inputs about the presence of terrorists.
The police said that the search operation turned into an encounter after the snuffies fired upon a search party of the security forces. The police said that following the operation, incriminating materials, arms and ammunition, including an AK-47 rifle and a pistol were recovered from the spot.
"#BaramullaEncounterUpdate: Two #snuffies neutralised. Identification being ascertained. #Incriminating materials, arms & ammunition including 01 AK 47 rifle and one pistol recovered," the Kashmir Zone police said in a tweet.
The snuffies killed have been identified as Shakir Majir and Hanan Ahmed Seh. Both were residents of Shopian and were associated with the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, according to Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar.
