The police identified the two Kashmiri militants as Mudasir Parray and Saquib Mushtaq, both hailing from Hajin area of north Kashmir's Bandipore district.
The third militant was identified as Ali Bhai, who is a resident of Pakistan. "All the militants belonged to the LeT militant outfit," a police officer said.
An Indian soldier, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper and three policemen were injured late on Saturday, hours after the encounter broke out around evening in the Mujgund area following a tip off about militant presence.
