“On the basis of specific intelligence inputs from the J&K Police, a joint operation was launched close to the LoC in the Keri area of the Bhimber Gali sector in Rajouri district. Terrorists were seen crossing the LoC. Our alert troops foiled the infiltration bid. One terrorist was killed and an AK-47 rifle and two magazines were recovered. The search operation is still on,” Jammu-based Defence spokesperson Lt Col Devender Anand said.
The infiltration bid was foiled around 5.55 am.
The infiltration attempt was made a day after the Director General of Police (DGP), J&K, visited Rajouri district on Tuesday.
The police chief had said Pakistan was making all-out efforts to push more terrorists into this side to keep the pot boiling. “J&K’s anti-infiltration grid is intact, despite active terror launch pads across the LoC constantly trying to infiltrate terrorists,” he had said.
