After the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Riyaz Naiku in May last, the security forces had made a list of 10 most wanted terrorists. In this, Mohammad Ashraf Khan of Hizbul was placed second. He was also considered as one of the successors of Naiku, but he was not made a commander due to being less educated. He is from a village near Verinag in South Kashmir.

The sources said that the police came to know about the hideout made by Ashraf Maulvi in the Chhaugund Kaparan forest in the upper part of Vereinag in the early hours. He is also accompanied by a terrorist from Anantnag who went to Pakistan some time ago with a visa. He returned after taking training in a terrorist camp there and then became active in Hizbul Mujahideen here. As soon as the information was received, the police launched a campaign with the army and CRPF soldiers. On seeing the youth coming into the forest, the terrorists started firing. This triggered an encounter. The terrorists escaped during an hour of shelling. The soldiers followed and got entangled in the encounter again at a distance. The encounter lasted for about 40 minutes here. During this time, a terrorist was injured or killed by shooting but his other accomplices managed to take him with them.
