Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) Kashmir head Abu Dujana was killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Tuesday morning.

Also reportedly killed is another LeT terrorist Arif Lilhaari. Two more terrorists were reportedly trapped in the encounter along with Dujana and Lilhaari.

Abu Dujana carried Rs 10 lakh reward on his head. Abu Dujana had managed to escape from the security cordon in Pulwama in May. Three Lashkar terrorists including Dujana had managed to flee as stone pelters prevented security forces from action. This was the fifth time that Lashkar commander Dujana managed to give a slip to the security forces in Kashmir.
