Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel launched a cordon and search operation late on Sunday night in the Gund Brath area of Sopore following the tipoff about the Pandit. The operation was well coordinated and top security forces of Jammu and Kashmir congratulated the team that operated the encounter.
“Top LeT terrorist Mudasir Pandit who was involved in the killing of 3 policemen, 2 BJP councilors & 2 civilians recently, has been killed in the Sopore encounter. A total of three LeT terrorists have been killed in the encounter,” Inspector General of Police Kashmir Vijay Kumar.
