The anti-terror operation in South Kashmir’s Kokernag area continued for the sixth consecutive day on Monday (Sept 18).
A top police officer said that one dead body was recovered from the operation site believed to be of the terrorist, whose identity is being ascertained.
Police suspect that the deceased is a terrorist based on the clothing patterns and other evidence. A DNA test is currently underway.
Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha visited the house of Deputy Superintendent of Police Humayun Bhat who was killed in the operation, along with two Indian Army officers.
Speaking on the Kokernag anti-terrorist operation, he said, “Every drop of blood of our soldiers and innocent civilians will be avenged.”
''We have full faith in the bravery and courage of our army, police and Central Armed Police Forces. Our brave security personnel from J&K Police and the Army laid down their lives recently while fighting terrorism. Terrorists and their sympathizers will have to pay a very heavy price,'' Sinha said.
