Fresh currency notes of Rs 2,000 value were recovered from the two militants killed in an encounter on Tuesday with security forces in Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir.

A senior army official said two notes of Rs 2,000 value were among the cash recovered from the slain militants.

"The currency has been handed over to police for further probe as to where from the currency notes were obtained by the militants," the army official said.

He said the identity of the slain militants has not been ascertained yet.

"From the appearance, they (slain militants) seem to be foreigners... when they had infiltrated into the valley will be known in due course of time," he added.
