The Indian Army asked the people of Haryana to extend their support “in giving a befitting farewell” to late Captain Kumar, who belonged to the Jind district. The mortal remains of the officer will be flown to Jind on Monday as road transportation has been disrupted by the ongoing Jat quota protest in Haryana, the army said. 
Captain Tushar Mahajan from the elite Para unit also lost his life in the encounter.
“One militant has been killed. Three army and two 2 CRPF personnel lost their lives in the operation,” CRPF spokesperson Bhavesh Kumar said on Sunday evening. “Heavy exchange of fire is continuing and security forces are trying to neutralise the militants,” he added.
“An officer of 10 Paras, Pawan Kumar attained martyrdom, leading his men from the front in a tricky operation as terrorists are hiding in a government building, with the possibility of some more civilians being trapped not ruled out,” a Srinagar-based spokesperson said.
Thirteen CRPF men were injured in the attack and the subsequent gunfight.
The militants, numbering two to four, fired guns and lobbed grenades early on Sunday as security forces tried to storm the government building. As an intense gunbattle raged between security forces and the militants, a portion of the five-story government building caught fire.
The standoff started on Saturday when the militants fired automatic rifles as they ambushed a convoy of paramilitary soldiers before taking refuge in the nearby government building. Those evacuated said the militants allowed more than 100 civilian government employees to leave the building without any harm.
Anti-India protests and clashes broke out on Sunday in several neighbourhoods in Pampore, where the militants are holed up.
Witnesses and officials said hundreds of youth, chanting “Go India, go back” and “We want freedom,” ignored the appeals from police to stay away from the site of the gun battle and hurled rocks at police and paramilitary soldiers.
Government troops fired tear gas and pellet guns to disperse the protesters. At least three protesters were hospitalised with wounds from pellet guns, police said.
