Indian security forces on Tuesday claimed to have killed a suspected Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT) commander who has reportedly been identified as Abu Dujana.

The announcement was made through a tweet by Indian police, which read that Dujana was killed along with an "accomplice" in the Hakripora village of Pulwama district. The police hailed it as a "huge achievement for police and SF (security forces)".

"Charred bodies of two youth were recovered from the debris of two residential houses destroyed by the [Indian] troops while using chemical substance during a crackdown operation in Hakripora area of the Srinagar district," Kashmir Media Service reported.

Moreover, according to Hindustan Times, a "cordon and search operation" carried out in a residential building was still underway.
