“The troops formed blocking positions at possible withdrawal routes which led to heavy operation fire for fire with the terrorists.”

“The gravity of the gun duel forced the unrepentant bandits to abandon the victims and flee. During the encounter with the terrorists, two of the students escaped while the two others a male and a female, were safely rescued by the military operatives.”
