A police spokesman said the encounter started with Army inputs and eventually fructified into a joint operation of the Army, CRPF and Police.
“After the cordon was laid, militants lobbed grenades from inside and fired upon the search party. As per the SOP, troops repeatedly appealed to the militants to surrender in the evening and again in the morning. However, instead of surrendering, they fired upon the troops and were eventually neutralised in a fire-fight,” he said.
