In a recent event, two terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Monday. The encounter took place during a cordon and search operation in Nihama area, where the ultras were hiding.
According to Inspector General of Police, Kashmir - VK Birdhi, the terrorists have been identified as Riyaz Dar and Rayees Dar. Riyaz Dar, who was a self-styled commander of the banned outfit, had been on the run for many years and was wanted in multiple terror cases.
The security forces were tipped off about the presence of these terrorists in the area, which led to the launch of the operation. As the search party closed in, the militants opened fire, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. In the end, both the terrorists were neutralized.
Riyaz Dar, the LeT commander, was known for his involvement in various terror activities. Despite being on the run, he continued to evade the security forces until now. But with the successful operation, he has been eliminated along with his accomplice, Rayees Dar.
Such encounters are a testament to the bravery and dedication of our security forces in their fight against terrorism. Their swift action and precise intelligence have once again foiled the plans of these militants and ensured the safety of the people in the region. This operation serves as a reminder that our forces will not rest until peace is restored in the valley.
