After battling militants for 15 days in one of the biggest anti-infiltration operations in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army on Tuesday declared the encounter in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir over.
Addressing reporters, Lt Gen Sanjiv Chachra said seven militants' bodies have been recovered along with a huge cache of arms and ammunition.
Between 30 to 40 militants and Pakistan special forces' troops had infiltrated into Keran sector in Kupwara district and the encounter in Shalbhatti village had started on September 24. Gen Chachra rubbished claims that the infiltration happened without the tacit support of the Pakistani Army.
"It is ridiculous to say that the militants did not have Pak Army support. We have produced identity proofs and a letter recovered from infiltrators to establish the claim," he stated.
