"Beginning of the end of terrorism in kashmir.It shows the frustration of coward terrorists when they abduct, torture and murder an unarmed 'Rifleman Aurangzeb' while he was on leave to celebrate Eid with his family," Rathore said in a tweet.
"For each of our fallen soldier, a thousand more will rise'," he said.
