Srinagar:
Jammu and Kashmir police on Thursday said they arrested three terrorists during a gunfight in Kulgam district which left a soldier dead.
Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Inspector General of Police Muneer Khan said: "In the ongoing operation against terrorists in Kund area, we have arrested three local terrorists."
He said one of them, Atta Muhammad Malik, was caught in an injured condition. "He would have died if we hadn't shifted him to a hospital where he is now said to be out of danger."
Mr Khan said the security forces had launched the joint operation in Kund on Tuesday after intelligence inputs about the presence of a big group of terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen there.
"A terrorist, Muzamil, and a soldier were killed on the first day of the encounter," Mr Khan said.
"Even if a local terrorist raises his hands during an encounter, we will help him to return to his home and lead a normal life," he said.
