Security forces gunned down top Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Musa during an encounter in Gurweeth Kalan village of Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district. Joint forces initiated a cordon-and-search operation late at night based on credible intelligence inputs regarding the movement of a Lashkar group. The search team came under fire from two locations and retaliated, eliminating Musa in the initial exchange of fire. Musa headed the Musa Fauji group and was wanted for multiple guerrilla attacks on security forces and army convoys across Jammu and Kashmir, including an ambush in Gulmarg's Batapathri area that killed two army personnel. Combing operations continue in the area as forces suspect additional terrorists remain in hiding.

00:46Meer, over to you. Give us more details about this encounter in which Lashkar-e-Toi-ba commander Musa has

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.
