SRINAGAR/JAMMU: Four Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists were killed in two encounters with security forces in south Kashmir's Shopian and Kishtwar in Jammu on Friday, hours before a suspected retaliatory attack on a joint police-CRPF camp in Pulwama left a trooper injured.Officials said terrorists fired several rounds at the camp in Newa after dusk, injuring a CRPF trooper identified as Inder Kumar of Rajasthan. He took a bullet in his left leg, a doctor at the district hospital in Pulwama said.Earlier in the day, a joint team of police, the Army 's 44 Rashtriya Rifles and CRPF was engaged in a gun battle with terrorists during a cordon-and-search operation at Dairoo in the Keegam area of Shopian. "Two terrorists holed up in a house were shot dead. They were both members of the Hizbul Mujahideen. We are yet to get their names," lGP (Kashmir range) Vijay Kumar said.In Jammu, a similar joint operation was carried out at Kishtwar, where two criminals out on parole had attacked a couple of special police officers on April 13 and snatched their weapons. One of the officers, Pashid Iqbal, was killed in the incident.A search for the duo led security forces to a hideout of the Hizbul Mujahideen on Friday, Jammu IGP Mukesh Singh said. One of the two men gunned down in the encounter was Ashiq Hussain, a kidnapping and rape accused who had been released on parole from the district jail around 20 days ago as part of a strategy to decongest prisons because of the Covid-19 pandemic."Ashiq was killed along with one Basharat Hussain , both residents of Tander village in Dachhan. Two rifles – an AK-74 and an Insas – were found on them," Singh said. "We now know that they were associated with the Hizbul Mujahideen."
