The court of judicial magistrate (Sopore) granted the police five-day custody of Sajjad Ahmed alias Abu Obaidullah, captured by the army in Rafiabad area near the Line of Control.
Four other associates of Sajjad were killed in a two-day long operation after the army intercepted them while they were trying to sneak into this side from across the border in Uri sector.
While three militants were killed yesterday, another was gunned down a day earlier, soon after security forces launched a search operation following specific information about presence of a group of militants.
