Srinagar, Sept 2 (IBNS): One Armyman was killed in an encounter between security forces and militants in Baramulla district of northern Kashmir on Wednesday, police said.
On a tip-off, joint teams of Army and SOG launched a search operation in Ladoora village of Rafiabad, about the presence of some militants believed to be inside a house.
 
Reports suggested the gun battle erupted soon after police received information about the presence of two local militants, including Imtiyaz Kandoo of Sopore, a close aide of Qayoom Najar, the disbanded Hizbul Mujahideen militant group.
 
This is the second gunfight in the area since last week when four militants were killed and one Pakistani militant was captured alive in the Qazinag dhara area of Rafiabad.
 
According to police, Imtiyaz was involved in some killings in Sopore and carries a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head.
