00:43My colleague Meer Fareed is now joining us with more details on this.
00:46Meer, over to you. Give us more details about this encounter in which Lashkar-e-Toi-ba commander Musa has
00:52been killed.
00:54Well, Anjali, this was a late night operation.
00:59Yesterday, late night, the security forces, in fact, had cordoned off this Gurvetkalan village of central Kashmir's Badgaam village.
01:07They had credible intel input about the movement presence of Lashkar group.
01:13And as soon as the search was started by joint forces, that input proved to be correct.
01:19They were fired upon from at least two locations.
01:22The security forces retaliated.
01:24And in this, in the very first exchange of fire, Musa, who said to be top post commander of the
01:31Lashkar from Pakistan, he was gunned down.
01:34And since the operation is still continuing, because there are inputs, there could be his accomplices.
01:40The number is not shown, but there could be some more hiding in the area.
01:43Now, about Musa, our sources say that he was part of the Musa 4G group of the Lashkar.
01:50He, along with his accomplices, were active in the Jammu and Kashmir area, be it across the Peer Panchal area
02:05in Kashtawar or in Rajuri, Punjab, right up to Kashmir, from South Kashmir forest area up to Badgaam.
02:12And he was someone who was on the most wanted list and was behind a number of attacks, guerrilla kind
02:19of attacks against security forces, especially army.
02:23There were a number of attacks in the last three, four years against army converts in Jammu.
02:27And also in Puttapathri area of Gulmarg in Kashmir, where it is said that he was the one, along with
02:35two others, who carried out an ambush against the army party, which resulted in the killing of two army men.
02:41So, he was one of the most wanted.
02:43There was a Musa 4G group, which he was leading.
02:46And today, finally, his luck ran out and he has been eliminated.
02:50Anjali?
02:51All right, Amir, thank you so much for all those details.
02:53So, there could be more terrorists who could be hiding and a combing operation is still underway.
02:58But there's a big win for the forces as Lashkar-e-Kaiba commander Musa has now been killed in an
03:03encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Badgaam district.
