NEW DELHI: A terrorist was killed on Thursday in a joint operation carried out by the Indian army and the Jammu and Kashmir police in Basantgarh.
Sharing the details on the X, White Knight Corps said the operation is under way.
Earlier today, forces launched an Operation Bihali in the Basantgarh based on the intelligence inputs. As the operation began, four Jaish-e-Mohammad militants, under surveillance for the past twelve months, were surrounded by security forces in a wooded region of Udhampur district. Contact with the terrorists was made at approximately 8.30 am.
The forces have since been working to neutralise the terrorists despite challenging weather conditions with rain and fog.
Inspector General of Police, Jammu range, Bhim Sen Tuti, told news agency PTI that there were believed to be four terrorists whom they had been monitoring for the past year.
Despite poor visibility due to fog, he confirmed that search operations were continuing, and a clearer situation would be apparent once weather conditions improved. The officials further stated that the cornered terrorists, who belonged to the Pakistan-based JeM, were discovered near Karoor nallah by a combined search team headed by the army's para commandos.
Earlier in the morning, the White Knight Corps said that the Indian army and Jammu Kashmir police launched an Operation Bihali in the Basantgarh based on the intelligence inputs. "Contact has been established with terrorists," the army said in a post on X.
