Jammu, Oct 30: Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday said a terrorist, who had shot dead a truck driver in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district and was killed by security forces on Tuesday in Anantnag, has been identified.
In a tweet, the Kashmir Zone Police said, '''the slain terrorist has been identified as Aijaz Malik of Hizbul Mujahideen.''
''He was active since 2018 and was involved in the killing of a truck driver at Bijbehara,'' it said adding that ''this establishes the complicity of Hizbul in the terror crime.''
Some Hizbul terrorists, including Aijaz Malik, had on Monday evening attacked a truck driver in Kanelwan area of Bijbehara town of the district and killed him.
Soon after the incident, the security forces started an operation which continued throughout the night in the area where the truck driver was killed.

The truck driver was identified as Narayan Dutt of Katra in Jammu.
According to police, the truck driver was waiting in Kanelwan area, which is 10 kilometres away from the Jammu-Srinagar highway, when the terrorists opened fire at him.
