The district commander of Al-Badr outfit and another militant involved in the abduction and killing of a panch from Khanmoh area of the city whose body was recovered from Shopian on Friday were among the slain militants.

Security forces launched a cordon and search operation in Kiloora area of Shopian district in south Kashmir following specific information about the presence of militants, a police official said.

In the ensuing exchange of fire, four militants were killed, the official said.

Srinagar-based Defence Spokesman Col Rajesh Kalia said one militant surrendered during the encounter. "One terrorist (has) surrendered. Two AKs and three pistols (were) recovered (from the encounter site)," he said.

Police on Friday recovered the body of the panch, who was reported missing 10 days ago from Khonmoh area of the city, from Shopian district.

Local residents of village Dangam in Shopian informed the police that a body seemed to be buried inside an orchard of the village, police said.
