A local Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant was killed in an encounter in Kakapora area in Pulwama District on November 19, while his accomplice fled, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that acting on a specific input, Police and Army’s 50 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) had laid an ambush in Begumbagh village of Kakapora in the District on a link road. Two militants came on a motor cycle and on seeing the Army and Police, they tried to flee during which the militant was killed. Sources said that one militant Majid was driving the bike and another one Rayees Ahmad Dar was his pillion rider. When Majid noticed the Security Forces (SFs), he made a quick U-turn and Rayees fell of the motor cycle and was killed in a brief gun battle. One AK-47 rifle and magazines were recovered from him. Majid also left the bike a short distance from the encounter site and fled away on foot. SFs immediately cordoned off the area but the militant had managed to flee from the area. The operation was later called off.Rayees had joined the militancy a month ago. The killing of the militant triggered massive protests and clashes in Kakapora and several areas of Pulwama District as youth came out on the streets and pelted stones on SFs and vehicles plying on roads. The stone pelting was reported from Gadoora, Newa, Pahoo, Kakapora, Pinglina and Hassanwani areas of the District. The protesters at these places targeted scores of vehicles that were plying through these areas. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, South Kashmir, Nitesh Kumar, said, Rayees was a local newly-recruited militant. He urged the local militants to lay down arms before SFs and said that they will be rehabilitated. Kumar said that he has directed all District Superintendent of Police (SP)s and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP)s of South Kashmir to open a special cell for the surrender and rehabilitation of local militants in their Districts. He appealed all the local militants especially those who joined recently to surrender before the Police. The DIG said that the militants who surrender would be rehabilitated so that they earn their livelihood.
