3 militants killed, soldier injured in Tral encounter
[Daily Excelsior] Three snuffies were killed and a soldier injured in a shootout in Tral area of South Kashmire’s Pulwama district today.

Army’s 42 Rashtriya Rifles (RR), Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmire Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) cordoned off Gulshanpora Tral in Pulwama district following the inputs about the presence of a group of Hizbul Mujahideen
...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003...

As the searches were going on, snuffies fired upon security forces who retaliated leading to a shootout. Three snuffies were killed during the encounter. A soldier was critically injured and has been airlifted to Udhampur Army hospital for treatment.

The killed snuffies have been identified as Zubair Ahmad Bhat alias Abu Huraira, son of Bashir Ahmad Bhat of Chursoo Awantipora; Shakoor Ahmad Parray alias Jaffar, son of Ghulam Nabi Parray of Laribal Tral and Tawseef Ahmad Thoker alias Abu Talha, son of Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Thoker of Chursoo Bunpora Awantipora.

It was a combined group of JeM and HM. Zubair was affiliated with JeM while Shakoor and Tawseef were affiliated with Hizbul Mujahideen. Zubair and Tawseef were active since May last year while Shakoor joined militancy in October 2017. Security forces recovered incriminating materials including arms and ammunition from the site of encounter. The arms include one AK-47 rifle, one SLR and one pistol.

A police front man said that all the three snuffies were wanted by security forces for their complicity in a series of militancy related incidents including attacks on security establishments and civilian atrocities.

"Police has started the paperwork but haven't done much else and initiated investigation in the matter. Incriminating materials including arms and ammunition were recovered from the site of encounter. All these materials have been taken in case records for further investigation and probe their complicity in other terror cases", the front man said.

"Citizens are requested not to venture inside the encounter zone since such an area can prove dangerous due to stray kabooms. People are requested to cooperate with police till the area is completely sanitized and cleared of all the kabooms if any", the front man added.

Meanwhile,

The protesters mostly youth erupted into the streets and pelted stones on the security forces. The security forces deployed near the encounter site used tear gas canisters to disperse the youth who were pelting stones on them.
