Srinagar: Mopping up operations were under way at a building in Srinagar’s Karan Nagar area with security forces killing two terrorists, officials said today.The encounter between militants and security forces, which began yesterday after the ultras tried to attack a CRPF camp, resumed this morning after an overnight lull.
The identity and group affiliation of the slain militants were not immediately known. Security forces had launched a final assault on the terrorists hiding in an under construction building in Karan Nagar area this morning, officials said.
CPRF trooper Mujahid Khan was killed and a policeman injured on Monday a few hours into the exchange that started after an alert guard foiled an attack on the paramilitary force’s camp.
