A Hizbul Mujahideen militant was today killed in a brief gunfight in the Tral area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, around 40 km from the summer capital Srinagar.
The slain militant has been identified as Adil Chopan, a resident of Laraw Jageer village in Tral. Chopan had escaped unhurt in an encounter on May 20 this year while his associate and former Hizb commander Sabzar Ahmad Bhat had been shot dead in Saimoh village of Tral.
“A Hizb terrorist has been killed in Tral gunfight,” said Deputy Inspector General, South Kashmir, SP Pani.
