The brother of an IPS officer was among three terrorists killed today in an encounter in South Kashmir's Shopian district after security forces busted their hide-out during a pre-dawn operation, officials said. Security forces also destroyed the terrorists' hide-out, an underground bunker near an orchard area. Shamsul Haq, the brother of the IPS officer, had reportedly stopped pursuing his degree in Unani medicine and joined the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen.
