The Jammu and Kashmir police will take help of DNA profiling to identify the bodies of two militants completely charred during a gunfight in Pinglish area of Tral last night.
An official said the bodies of two militants charred beyond recognition were recovered from the site of the gunfight last night. Locals said the house in which the militants were hiding was razed to the ground by the forces.
