Two terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba's local offshoot The Resistance Front (TRF) were neutralised by Jammu and Kashmir police in an encounter at the Zakura area of Srinagar city. One of the terrorists killed in the encounter has been identified as Ikhlaq Hajam, Kashmir's inspector general of police Vijay Kumar said. 

Hajam was involved in the recent killing of head constable Ali Muhammad Ganie in Anantnag's Hassanpora. Kumar said that incriminating materials including two pistols were recovered from the site. 

The 53-year-old head constable of Jammu and Kashmir police was killed last week after terrorists opened fire on him around 5.35pm near his residence, in Anantnag’s Hassanpora Bijbhera area. Ganie was rushed to the Government Medical College in Anantnag where the doctors declared him brought dead.

He was posted at the Kulgam police station.
