Pertinently, it’s worth to mention here that security forces on Wednesday said three local militants were killed in an encounter at Lawaypora on the outskirts of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir. However, the families of the slain rebutted the forces’ claim and said the youth killed in the encounter were civilians. The families held a protest outside police control room in Srinagar.
The encounter started on Tuesday evening after the J&K police, the army and the CRPF launched a cordon and search operation in the locality close to the national highway after inputs about the presence of militants.
The army claimed the militants killed in the encounter were planning a big attack on the national highway.
