SRINAGAR: A PhD scholar was among five militants of Hizbul Mujahideen killed in a gunfight with security forces in south Kashmir's Kulgam district on Sunday.
The PhD scholar was identified by the police as Waseem Bashir Rather alias Zeeshan who had joined militant ranks on May 23, 2018, after his close friend was killed in a gunfight with security forces last November.

A police official said, units of the police, CRPF and Army launched a joint cordon and search operation in a village in the wee hours of Sunday following specific inputs about the presence of militants in Kellam area of Devsar in Kulgam.
