In a major crackdown on insurgents in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces on Wednesday neutralised two major terrorists of the Jaish-E-Mohammad (JeM) during an anti-terror operation in the Pulwama district.  

Commander of proscribed terror outfit JeM Yasir Parray and IED expert Furqan – who is a foreign ultra – were gunned by the Kashmir Zone Police this morning, in a major success for the security forces. 

Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Vijay Kumar today said that both were involved in several terror crimes. The encounter took place at Qasbayar area of the south Kashmir district.

The crackdown on the top terrorists comes a week after the J&K police killed three terrorists in Srinagar’s Rambagh. Those killed in the encounter include Mehran, the top commander of The Resistance Front, (TRF) an offshoot of Pakistan-based terrorist organization, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) which claimed responsibility for the recent civilian killings in Jammu and Kashmir.
