This operation is part of a nationwide crackdown targeting terrorist networks and radicalisation efforts, with simultaneous raids conducted across five states—Assam, Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat.
Two killed terrorists were identified as Hanan Bin Yaqoob and Jamshed, who, according to the police were involved in the recent killing of special police officer Javed Dar in Pulwama.
Efforts are on to make common people alert as well. We are fully prepared to deal with any eventuality, says Delhi Police PRO, DCP Suman Nalwa.
Police said JeM terrorists and their associates have been arrested by Jammu Police in a drive to root out the presence of terrorists in Jammu.
The encounter between militants and security forces was a joint operation launched by the army, the police and the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) in a village in Pulwama.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), in a statement, said that Chopan was never arrested in the Pulwama attack case.
A memorial to the 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers killed in the terror attack in February last year will be inaugurated at the Lethpora camp in Jammu and Kashmir today.
The letter written in Hindi was sent by ordinary mail to the railway police in Rohtak, an official of the Rohtak police said.
Online petitions had been circulating for removing Priyanka Chopra from the ambassadorship.
This will be the last overseas engagement of the Narendra Modi government, which will take place a day before the announcement of results in the Lok Sabha elections currently underway.
