A longest surviving wanted militant was among two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants killed in south Kashmir on Sunday, DGP Dilbagh Singh said on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe slain militant, Aijaz Ahmed Reshi, was the longest surviving militant commander of the LeT outfit. He was working as an over ground worker in 2015 and joined militancy before [slain militant commander] Burhan Wani,\u201d he said at a press conference at the District Police Lines (DPL) in Awantipora, Pulwama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing Reshi a \u201cdangerous militant\u201d, DGP Singh said he carried out deadly attacks on security forces inflicting heavy casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe took part in an attack at EDI Pampore in which eight CRPF men were killed. He had transported the Lashkar men to the spot. He had fired at the Army party killing three soldiers at Kadlabal, Pampore,\u201d the DGP said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police said Reshi had also recruited many youths into militancy like Towseef Khanday, Rafiq Dar and Adil Ahmed, all killed in separate encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Reshi was killed along with another local militant Sajad Ahmed Sofi. \u201cSofi was also recruited and trained by Reshi,\u201d DGP Singh said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police said the bodies would be sent to Baramulla for burial. \u201cThe nearest family members of the killed militants would be allowed to participate in the last rites,\u201d the police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

DGP Singh said the \u201cunfortunate\u201d murder of advocate and TV analyst Babar Qadri was being investigated \u201cat a very fast pace with good progress so far. The police would be able to crack the case very soon\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the alleged staged encounter in south Kashmir\u2019s Shopian on July 18, the DGP said the investigation has been taken up and is in the final stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe SSP, Shopian, is monitoring the investigation process and further details will be shared,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The J&K police have also apprehended two militants affiliated to the LeT and The Resistance Front in Awantipora and Anantnag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne arrested militant, Faisal Ahmad Dar, went missing on September 11 and uploaded his audio on social media on September 13 saying he joined the terrorist ranks. Another arrested militant, Talib Bhat, was recruited by TRF commander Abbas Sheikh of Kulgam and had released a video clip after joining the militant ranks,\u201d the police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officials said unknown gunmen on Saturday evening had fired upon a youth in Shopian district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officials identified the youth as Subzar Ahmad Naikoo. \u201cHe was seriously wounded in the attack at his home. Bullets hit him in the abdomen and leg,\u201d the officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The injured civilian, an employee in the Rural Development department, died in the hospital in Srinagar, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
