Giving details, an official spokesman said that a Company Commander of HM was gunned down at Karmullah Tral.
According to SP Awantipora, Police received specific information regarding the presence of militants in the forest area of Gujjar Patti Kramulla Tral. A joint operation was launched by Police and 31 RR, which led to a fierce gun battle, he said.
