A cordon and search operation was launched on Wednesday in two villages of Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir, after credible inputs of the presence of terrorists in the area. The operation was conducted in Arwani Bijbehara and Bonpora Shangus villages. This comes at the backdrop of two terrorist attacks and an encounter in the district within a span of a week.
June 12: Six Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed when their patrol party was attacked by terrorists in Anantnag. Those who lost their lives in the attack are ASI Ramesh Kumar, ASI Nirod Sarma, Station House Officer (SHO) Arshad Khan, CT Satendra Kumar, CT Mahesh Kr Kushwaha and CT Sandeep Yadav. The suicide attack was carried out at KP Road in Anantnag at 4:50 pm on June 12 when two motorcycle-borne terrorists opened fire at a CRPF patrol party. In the ensuing gunfight, one terrorist was killed. Though Al-Umar Mujahideen, a defunct terror group, has claimed responsibility for the strike, officials, however, said that it was a handiwork of Jaish-e-Mohammad.
