As informed by the police, three terrorists were killed on Thursday, while one surrendered before security forces during an encounter in the Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir.

As the presence of four newly recruited terrorists of the Al-Badr outfit got confirmed, the security forces exercised maximum restraint and tried their best to have them surrendered.

The terrorists turned down the offer and opened firing; they also threw a grenade on the security forces, the official said.
