This news was confirmed by local police. The gunfight had erupted at Chawalgam Village in Kulgam on Thursday evening when a joint team of police, 18 battalions of CRPF, and Army\u2019s 9 Rashtriya Rifles launched a cordon and search operation in the area following input regarding the presence of terrorists. They said in the initial gunfight one ultra was killed.<\/p>\n

#Incriminating materials including arms and ammunition recovered. Search going on. Further details shall follow. @JmuKmrPolice,” a police tweet said. Police later identified one of the slain as District Commander of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen Shiraz Molvi who was active since 2016. “Killed Militants identified as District commander of HM Shiraz Molvi & Yawar Bhat. Shiraz was active since 2016 & was involved in #recruiting innocent youth into terror ranks & several civilian killings, A big success for us,” a police Tweet said while quoting the Inspector General of Police.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the militant killed<\/a> in an encounter in Srinagar’s Bemina locality on Thursday evening has been identified by police as a member of Mujahideen Gazwatul Hind who was assigned to carry a Fidayeen attack. “Terrorist killed in #Srinagar #Encounter identified as Aamir Riyaz of Khrew #Pulwama affiliated with proscribed terror outfit Mujahideen Gazwatul Hind. He was relative of one of the accused of #LethporaTerrorAttack and was assigned to carry out fidayeen attack, ” a police tweet said while quoting the Inspector General of Police.<\/p>\n

On February 14, 2019, a local suicide bomber of Jaish-e-Mohammad rammed his explosive-laden car into a CRPF bus at Lethpora Pulwama leaving 40 personnel of the force dead. The attack was followed by Balakote airstrikes.<\/p>\n

The Pulwama attack<\/a> has been criticized as being an intelligence failure though GOI denies this.\u00a0 A CRPF internal report states that the February 14 terrorist attack on its convoy that killed 40 jawans in Pulwama, Jammu, and Kashmir was preceded by a \u201cmassive intelligence failure\u201d as a CRPF inquiry showed though intelligence agencies had alerted the force about a general improvised explosive device (IED) threat, it did not have any \u201cinput\u201d regarding a \u201cthreat from a car-borne suicide bomber\u201d and the Government allowed a convoy of 78 vehicles and 2,547 jawans to enter that zone despite receiving that warning.<\/p>\n
