In a significant development, the security forces in the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) have successfully eliminated three terrorists which included top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Mudasir Pandit, reports Hindustan Times.
As per the information shared by J&K Police, the three were neutralised in North Kashmir's Sopore during an encounter that began yesterday (20 June) evening at Tantraypora Brath village following a tip-off.
It should be noted that Pandit's elimination gains much significance as he was involved in the killing of three policemen, two councillors, and two civilians recently apart from several other terror-related crimes.
The development comes after the joint teams of the Indian Army, J&K Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) began conducting joint operations in the vicinity of Sopore following the terror attack on police in the area on bygone 12 June. The said attack had seen the demise of two policemen and two civilians. J&K Police had then said that LeT was responsible for the attack.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
