Two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists die in motorcycle accident, one body recovered

Two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were killed in a bike accident in Sopore's Harpora today. At least one body has been recovered by police and has been identified as Owais Bashir.

The incident comes a day after terrorists targeted an Army camp in Chilli Pora in Kashmir's Shopian on Sunday. According to reports, no casualties were reported. On Saturday, at least five Indian Army soldiers were martyred after suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists attacked the Sunjwan Army camp in Jammu. A civilian was killed too.

Earlier today, the Supreme Court put an interim stay on any criminal proceedings against Major Aditya Kumar, who has been named in an FIR filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police for killing civilians during an army firing in Shopian.

Staying the proceedings, as sought by Major Kumar's father Karamveer Singh, the Supreme Court also asked the Jammu and Kashmir government and the Centre to clarify their stands on the matter in two weeks.

Singh's lawyer Aishwarya Bhati later told reporters that it was a "positive and encouraging day" for the Army. "The Supreme Court has issued notices to Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government. We have been asked to serve a copy of the petition to the office of the Attorney General of India. The court has requested the AGI to clarify the stand of the Centre in two weeks. The Jammu and Kashmir government also has to clarify its stand in two weeks," Bhati said.
