A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant surrendered before security forces in Reasi district of Indian Kashmir on Tuesday.

Mohammad Ashraf, alias Abu Ibrar, a resident of village Angralla in Mahore block, laid down arms before security forces.

“In the past four months we have killed 25 militants. That created pressure on him. He was scared and was worried about losing his life,” said Surendra Choudhary, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Operations), Reasi.

Ashraf, who joined Hizbul Mujahideen outfit in 2006 and later shifted to Lashkar-e-Taiba outfit, laid down an AK-47 rifle and ammunition.
