Srinagar: Two militants surrendered during a gun battle on Wednesday in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district, police said.

They said the duo surrendered on the appeal of parents and police during the encounter which had started at Hadigam village of Kulgam during a cordon and a search operation.

"During the encounter, 2 local terrorists surrendered on the appeal of their parents and police. Incriminating materials, arms and ammunition recovered," a police spokesman said.

The identity and the group affiliation of surrendered militants could not be established immediately.

Police said the search operation is underway.

The gun battle had erupted when a joint of team of security forces launched a cordon and a search operation in Hadigam village of Kulgam around midnight following an input about militant presence.

"As the searches were underway, the hiding militants fired upon the party, which was retaliated to, thus triggering an encounter," a security official said. (UNI)
