As the forces advanced, an exchange of fire took place. The Indian Army\u2019s White Knight Corps confirmed the encounter, saying the operation was in progress.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed gunfight followed large-scale raids by Indian police on 26 houses in Kishtwar, including that of senior freedom activist Mohammad Amin Butt alias Jehangir Saroori. Officials claimed the raids mainly targeted the homes of militants. Similar searches were also carried out in neighbouring Doda district.
