According to the CRPF the identity of the killed terrorists is being ascertained. The search operation has also been started.
Last week on January 31 as well, 3 terrorists were killed in a gun-fight between the terrorists and police leaving the policeman injured and all the three terrorists killed.
A policeman with his alert and timely action averted a major tragedy as he uncovered a cavity inside a truck on Jammu-Srinagar highway, ferrying three armed Jaish-e–Mohammed(JeM) terrorists, police said.
The spotting of cavity by the cop led to encounter between the terrorists and police.
Last month, Jammu and Kashmir police had arrested five operatives of Jaish-e-Mohammed from Srinagar who were involved in grenade attack on security forces.
