On Sunday, police confirmed the killing of a local LeT militant, Jehangeer Ahmad Wani, a resident of Narapora Shopian in the gunfight, that broke out Saturday evening a day after security forces launched a cordon and search operation in the area following inputs about the presence of militants there.
Two of the protestors, who had thronged the area yesterday to disrupt the encounter received pellet injuries, one of them in eye, in clashes with forces while a cop was also injured in the head after he was hit by a stone.
