According to Daily Excelsior, Army on March 20 foiled an infiltration bid near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara District, killing three militants while four Army personnel sustained injuries in the gun-battle which was still continuing.

Police initially maintained that the slain girl was a militant, but later described her as an ‘A’ category Over Ground Worker of militants in the evening but late in the night it gave her ‘benefit of doubt’ after which civil administration released INR 100000 ex-gratia in her favour. The Inspector General of Police, K. Rajendera, said 23-year old Amina Bano, a resident of village Kanow, who was killed in the encounter, has been given ‘benefit of doubt’ as "we have nothing on record to prove her as a militant though police have reports of her militant links". Rajendera said: "police had reports about the presence of four top Hizbul Mujahideen militants including Ishaq Bhat and Shahdin Khandey in Suroo forests. It was on the basis of this information that an operation was launched in the forests.” In the exchange of firing, all four militants were injured, sources said, adding that Bhat and Khandey had taken shelter somewhere along Suroo in an injured condition while their third unidentified associate was believed to have been killed.
