Srinagar, Sept 05 (GNS): Bodies of two militants were recovered from Kishanganga River near Line of Control in Gurez area of north Kashmir’s Bandipora district, officials said on Saturday.
They said the bodies were found by the police and army along with ammunition at Tulail village in the frontier area.
Official sources confirmed the recovery of the bodies and told GNS that the duo according to documents found have been identified as Nisar Ahmad Rather from Dadsara Tral and Sameer Ahmad Dar ( whose Official confirmation still awaited) from Dogripora Pulwama.
A police officer told GNS that most probably they might have died due to drowning while crossing the river.

Nissar’s Adhaar card was also recovered, the officer said. The police has registered a case and started further investigation in this regard, the officer added. (GNS)
