Jammu: A militant, who is believed to have escaped during the major gunbattle with security forces in Samba district, was today shot dead.

The militant is believed to have escaped after yesterday's Kaili Mandi gunbattle in which eight persons, including two militants and a photojournalist, were killed and 15 others injured.

An ak rifle, grenades, a pistol and explosive material were recovered from him, they said adding one more militant has been spotted in the nearby forest area and the operation is still on.
