Hizbul Mujahideen commander Nisar Khande was killed and was active in the valley since 2018: Anantnag encounter.
The security forces fighting against terrorism in Kashmir have achieved great success.
Security forces have killed top Hizbul Mujahideen commander Nisar Khande in an ongoing night encounter in the Kapran Reshipora area of the Anantnag district of South Kashmir.
IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar himself confirmed this and informed us that Khande was active in terrorist activities in the Kashmir Valley since October 2018.
Three army personnel and one civilian were also injured in this encounter. All have been admitted to 92 Base Hospital Srinagar for treatment.
His condition is said to be stable. One of the three injured jawans has been identified as Amandeep while the injured civilian’s name is Mukhtar Ahmed Malik.
IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar also congratulated the security forces on this success. An AK 47 rifle, its magazine, and other arms and ammunition were recovered from the encounter site, he said.
According to official records Nisar Ahmed Khande, a resident of Doru Anantnag, was active in the Anantnag district since October 12, 2018.
There are many cases registered against him.
Police said that they received information about the sighting of terrorists in Reshipora, Anantnag in South Kashmir on Friday evening.
A joint team of police and security forces reached the area and laid siege to the terrorists.
It was learned that the commander of The Resistance Front, called the Hit Squad of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has become synonymous with terror in Kashmir, is trapped in the siege.
The firing took place for hours, and the terrorists were also given many opportunities to surrender, but when they did not agree, the security forces killed a terrorist.
In view of the darkness and the possibility of the presence of more terrorists in the area, the security forces postponed the operation till morning.
When security forces searched the encounter site early in the morning, the body of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Nisar Khande was found there.
The forest is also adjacent to Reshipora and it is one of the remote villages of Anantnag. Therefore, the presence of more terrorists is being feared in the area.
The security forces have ended the encounter and have taken the bodies of the terrorist and the recovered weapons.
But the presence of a terrorist is still being feared in the forest. The search operation is on.
