Three militants, including the two who were involved in April 1 attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Muhammad Anwar Khan’s house in Nowgam were killed in an encounter with Security Forces (SFs) in Pulwama District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in India on April 2, reports The Times of India. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir range, Vijay Kumar said, “Police pursued leads provided by arrested over ground worker (OGW) Ishfaq Ahmed and laid a siege at the Ghat Mohalla area in Pulwama district. Firing started at 4:35am. The militants refused to surrender and instead took five civilians in hostage. That’s why the operation got delayed. Later, we managed to take the hostages out and then the encounter started in which three terrorists were killed.” The slain militants have been identified as Suhail Nisar Lone and Yasir Wani, both residents of Khrew area of Pulwama, and Junaid Ahmad from Prichoo in the same District. “All the three had joined (militants ranks) this year — two in February and one in March,” the IGP said. Kumar said Suhail and Junaid were involved in the attack on Khan’s residence in which a Policeman was killed and his riffle was snatched. “Suhail is the one who was wearing a burqa. Both were affiliated with the Al-Badr outfit. We recovered one Ak-47 riffle, one pistol and the SLR riffle that was snatched in the Nowgam attack,” the IGP said, adding that two more Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants based in Srinagar, Obaid and Shahid, are still on the run. Preliminary investigations have revealed that Lashkar and Al-Badr had jointly carried out the Nowgam attack. The IGP said a vehicle (Alto) used by militants in the attack has also been seized. “The vehicle was found outside the house where the encounter took place (on Friday). It belongs to the house owner. We will arrest him under UAPA [Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act],” he said. A woman suffered a bullet injury in her leg during cross-firing near the encounter site, while three civilians suffered pellet injuries. “All are stable,” IGP, Kumar added.

A team of Police led by Mulugu Sub-Inspector (SI), Harikrishna, unearthed an arms’ dump allegedly belonging to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Mansingh Thanda in Mulugu District of Telangana on April 3, reports Telangana Today. The Police have found a total of 312 live rounds of ammunition, two detonators, and documents relating to the outlawed Maoist party. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Potharaju Sai Chaitanya said that a team of Police including Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) members, two revenue officials, and a photographer had searched for a dump at Mansingh Thanda at his instructions upon receiving reliable information that there was a hidden dump of CPI Maoists in the Podu lands around Mansingh Thanda village in Mulugu Mandal (administrative sub-division). “When the team thoroughly examined the lands, they came across a suspicious spot. They have dug up the soil for about 1.5 metre deep into the ground and found a black cover in it. Immediately, they examined the bag and found ammunition and other material,” he said. He added that the CPI Maoist Telangana State Committee seems to have conspired to establish anti-government committees in the villages again to assert their existence. “It is an attempt by the Maoists to revive the CPI-Maoist party by killing the people’s representatives, policemen and vandalising the public property,” he added.
