Earlier reports stated that that two terrorists had been killed previously by forces. On Saturday, Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, SP Vaid said that they are unaware which outfit the accused belong to, but suspect that it could be Jaish-e-Mohammed.
“The encounter is still on. There was an input about a couple of militants in that area. The exact outfit is not known but most probably they are foreign militants. It must be Jaish-e-Mohammed,” Vaid told ANI.
