Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed his grief over the officers’ deaths and paid tributes to DSP Humayun Bhat.

The Indian Army also suffered losses in the encounter, with Colonel Manpreet Singh, the commanding officer of 19 Rashtriya Rifles, and Major Aashish D losing their lives. Both officers were critically injured and succumbed to excessive loss of blood.

Colonel Manpreet Singh was from Panchkula, Haryana, and is survived by his wife and two small children. Major Aashish D hailed from Panipat, Haryana, and is survived by his wife and a two-year-old daughter.

The encounter was carried out against terrorists in the Kokernag area, and the Pakistan-sponsored terrorist group, The Resistance Front, claimed responsibility for the attack.

It is believed that these terrorists were the same group responsible for an attack on Army personnel on August 4 in the Kulgam district, where three soldiers were martyred.

During the operation, warlike stores and a large quantity of medicines with Pakistan markings were seized from the terrorists’ hiding spot.

This further highlights the involvement of Pakistan in supporting and arming these terrorist groups.

The nation stands firmly with the families of these brave officers in this hour of grief. Their sacrifice and indomitable courage will always be remembered.
