Operation Keller: Three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists have been gunned down in an encounter with security forces in South Kashmir's Shopian, around a fortnight after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, under Operation Keller.

The terrorists were trapped in the Shukroo forest area of Keller. A top police officer said that a massive cordon and search operation was launched in the forests of Kellar after receiving specific information about the presence of some terrorists.

As the team of police and army started a combing operation, the hiding terrorists fired upon the party, triggering a gunfight. During the exchange of fire, three LeT terrorists were killed.

Two terrorists have been identified as Shahid Kuttay and Adnan Shafi Dar, while the identity of the third terrorist is yet to be ascertained, ANI reported citing sources. 

Shahid Kuttay, a resident of Chotipora Heerpora in Shopian, joined LeT on 8 March, 2023. He was involved in the firing incident at Danish Resort on 8 April, 2024, in which two German tourists and a driver were injured. He was involved in the killing of a BJP sarpanch at Heerpora, Shopian on May 18, 2024.

He is suspected to be involved in the killing of TA Personnel at Behibagh, Kulgam on 3 February this year.

Adnan Shafi Dar, who is also a resident of Shopian, joined the Lashkar-e-Taiba on 18 October, 2024. He was involved in the killing of a non-local labourer in Shopian.
