Encounter underway between security forces and terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Awantipora. A terrorist has been killed by the security forces in the encounter. More details are awaited.

Earlier, the encounter started at Padgampora in South Kashmir's Pulwama district after midnight on Monday. A terrorist was killed in this. DGP Dilbag Singh confirmed the encounter, but did not reveal the identity of the terrorists. According to sources, the slain terrorist may have been involved in the murder of Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Sharma. There is news of two army soldiers being injured.

Kashmiri Pandit bank guard Sanjay Sharma, who was going to the market with his wife in Pulwama on Sunday, was shot dead by terrorists. Security forces cordoned off the entire area following information that the killers were hiding in Padgampora. Ever since the attack, teams of police and security forces are constantly on the lookout for the killers.

Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Sharma, who was killed in a terrorist attack in Achhan village of Pulwama district, was cremated on Monday. During this, the Muslim neighbors created an example of brotherhood. They helped in the last rites of Sanjay Sharma like a family.

He arranged woods for the rites and also shouldered the bier. Sanjay Sharma's family is the only Kashmiri Pandit family living in Achhan village. Local resident Mudassir Ahmed said, when we got the news of Sanjay Sharma's murder, the ground had slipped under our feet.

Hearing this, we immediately ran towards the house and took care of Sanjay's family members. He said that everyone in the village has cordial relations with Sanjay Sharma's family. At the same time, Sanjay's relatives said that the Muslims of the village always help him in times of difficulty and need.
