The spokesman said an amount of Rs 12.5 lakh was recovered at the instance of Sheikh, while five lakhs and 33 fake Golden Pounds were recovered from the possession of Khan. Both the militants are still at large and efforts are on to nab them, he said adding the duo were also involved in several acts of militancy including killings of a National Conference Panch Gul Mohammad Bhat of Wanpoh and a police follower Mohammad Rafiq Mir of Hussanpora bagh village. "Further investigation in this regard is going on," he said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
