An overground worker, a civilian and two militants killed in Hyderpora on Monday evening.
Four persons, including an overground worker and a civilian, were killed in an encounter in Srinagar’s Hyderpora on Monday evening, the police said on Tuesday amid allegations that it was a “staged encounter” and one victim was used as “a human shield”.
“Two militants, including a foreign militant identified as Haider, and his local associate possibly from Banihal area of Jammu were killed. We have called in a family from Banihal to identify the slain,” Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said.
He said the building owner, Altaf Ahmed, was killed in a crossfire.
