The gunmen behind a massacre in Kashmir in April that sparked a four-day war between India and Pakistan were killed in a raid on Monday, Delhi has said.

The Indian home minister's account of forces killing who he said were three Pakistanis involved in the April attack on Hindu tourists in the Jammu and Kashmir federal territory was "replete with fabrications",

The government has faced criticism for being slow to catch the shooters who slaughtered 26 civilians and started clashes between India and Pakistan.
