Sources in the Indian Army said the armed militants infiltrated on Wednesday night and were spotted at Pindi Kalan village by the local people who informed the Border Security Force personnel.

The militants, six in all, entered a house where they held civilians as hostage and subsequently entered an abandoned army bunker from where they opened fire on the army, one official said. Another army official, however, said the militants were four in number and divided themselves into two groups. They shot three civilians before taking on the army, he said.
