During the operation, other militants hiding in the hills opened fire, prompting the police to retaliate.
The exchange of fire lasted for about an hour, resulting in the deaths of the three militants. Two of them were from Cachar and one was from Manipur.
Three policemen sustained injuries in the incident, and the Cachar police vehicle was damaged. Several sophisticated weapons, including AK series rifles, were recovered from the auto-rickshaw in which the militants were traveling.
