Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the 'bravery and professionalism' of Indian security forces while stressing that the terror organisation that was planning a terror plot which resulted in Thursday's Nagrota encounter, was 'Pakistan-based '.

"Neutralising of 4 terrorists belonging to Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed and the presence of large cache of weapons and explosives with them indicates that their efforts to wreak major havoc and destruction have once again been thwarted," PM Modi tweeted.
