“The cordon was tightened and all the possible escape routes were blocked to negate the escape of militants. Subsequently, all the civilians trapped in the adjoining houses/target house were safely evacuated to safer location and the hiding militants were offered an opportunity to surrender, to which they ignored and fired indiscriminately upon joint operation parties.”
