Two suspected militants have been killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s border district Kupwara on Tuesday in a military operation jointly conducted by the Indian Army and Police.


“Two terrorists have been neutralised in a joint operation of Army and Kupwara Police in Dobanar Machhal area (LoC) of Kupwara district. Search still continues,” Kashmir Zone Police said in a tweet on Tuesday. It said that a search operation is underway.


The police also said that a suspected associate of militant organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was arrested by Police in a joint operation with the Rashtriya Rifles (RR) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Bandipora district in northern Kashmir.


Officials said that Police, jointly with the 13 Rashtriya Rifles and the 45Bn Central Reserve Police Force, arrested a militant associate of LeT at Baharabad Hajin, ANI reported.

The police allegedly recovered two Chinese hand grenades from the arrested accused, they said.
