Three days after a terrorist of Jaish-e-Mohammed hit a bus carrying CRPF jawans with an explosive-laden vehicle in Jammu and Kashmir killing over 40 jawans, the Indian Army took down two Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) terrorists in an encounter in Pulwama district on Monday. News of the terrorists’ death was met with glee in Bengaluru as a group of boys burst crackers in BTM Layout.

Sadly, four Indian Army personnel, including a Major were also killed in the encounter.

The soldiers killed in this operation belonged to the 55 Rashtriya Rifles. Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal, 34, was from Dehradun. The others killed are Sepoy Hari Singh, 27,  Havaldar Sheo Ram, 37, and Sepoy Ajay Kumar, 27.
