In what could be perceived as a victory for the Indian forces, two terrorists were neutralised so far in an ongoing encounter between the Indian Army jawans and terrorists. The encounter broke out on late Thursday night at Balhama area of Khonmoh in the outskirts of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from killing two terrorists, one Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan was also injured in the gun battle. Commenting on the matter, a J&K Police spokesperson said that the CRPF jawan was injured in a gun battle at Balhama area of Khonmoh. As per reports, the encounter broke out when three militants were cornered after they made an abortive bid to snatch the rifle from Personal Security Officer (PSO) of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Anwar Khan.
