Hours after an encounter began in Pulwama's Awantipora, Jammu and Kashmir police claimed that a terrorist named Aqib Mustaq Bhat had been killed.

Cops said that he was the killer of Sanjay Sharma, who was shot dead on 26 February while going to a local market.

Aqib Mustaq Bhat was initially a member of Hizbul Mujahideen, but later joined The Resistance Front (TRF), a pseudonym for Lashkar-e-Taiba, police claimed.
