“The militant was aged between 40 and 45 years. An AK-47 rifle was recovered from him. A detailed search of the area led to the recovery of more arms and ammunition including 12 AK rifles which were made in Pakistan,” the Army commander said.
On September 26, Lt Gen Singh had told reporters that 10-12 bodies of militants killed in the operation had been noticed by the troops on the ground.
Asked if any of the bodies had been retrieved so far, he said, “The dead bodies are not important to me. What is important is that the operation is carried out in the way it has been planned.”
