Just a week after killing Jaish-e-Mohammed's India chief, Ghazi Baba, the Border Security Force on Friday shot dead two more top operatives of the group in an encounter in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Abdul Rehman Dedar, a self-styled battalion commander of Jaish, and Khurshid Ahmed Parrey, a company commander, were killed in Kellar area of the district.

Terming the killings a major success, a BSF spokesman said a crack team on a tip off raided the area and was fired upon by the militants.

The BSF team retaliated and killed both militants.
