Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Zakir Ganai was killed in an encounter with security forces after a four-day anti-terror operation in the Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir. The operation began after intelligence inputs led forces to the area, where Ganai remained trapped despite repeated attempts to escape. Security personnel maintained a tight cordon before neutralising the militant during the final assault. Officials described the operation as a significant success in ongoing counter-terror efforts in the region. Authorities recovered weapons and other incriminating material from the encounter site, while search operations continued to ensure no other militants were hiding nearby. (PC: NDTV)
