3 terrorists killed in encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama
Srinagar: Three Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists including IED expert and close aide of Azhar Masood, Abdul Rehman Alias Fauji Bhai were killed on Wednesday in a gunfight with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district, confirmed a police official.
Abdul Alias has been found to be a resident of Multan, Pakistan and was active in South Kashmir since 2017. Identities of the other two are yet to be ascertained, said Kashmir Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar.
He further said that Fauji Bayi hailed from Multan in Pakistan and was active in Kashmir since 2017.
"His killing is the second biggest success for the security forces this year after the elimination of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Riyaz Naikoo," he said.
The officer said Fauji had also been involved in Afghanistan war but it could not be verified that he is a nephew of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar.
"He was an active terrorist but lower in rank based in Pulwama at a time when the Pulwama blast on a CRPF convoy in February 2019 took place, in which 40 CRPF jawans were martyred," the IGP said.
Fauji was the mastermind of a car bomb that was timely detected by the security forces and defused in south Kashmir on May 28, he added.
A joint team of security forces launched a cordon and search operation after an input about presence of militants hiding in the area. As the search was being carried out, the hiding militants fired at the security forces, which retaliated, triggering a gunfight.
Meanwhile, internet services have been snapped in the area as a preventive measure.
