In a swift operation jawans of the special operations group of Jammu & Kashmir police on Monday evening gunned down two terrorists in Khad Mill ground at Aloochi Bagh in Srinagar.

Names of both these terrorists had figured in the list of most wanted terrorists issued by the Jammu & Kashmir police in the first week of August 2021.
