According to defence ministry spokesman Lt. Col. Biplab Nath, the militant, who also went by the alias of Saifullah Tirzay surrendered with an AK-56 rifle, two magazines, 96 rounds of ammunition and one Chinese grenade.

It is rare for a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militant to be found in this belt, as the plains of Jammu are believed to be free of militants.
