"J&K Police Achieve Significant Breakthrough in Countering Terrorist Activities and Disrupting Networks"
Jammu: A significant breakthrough in the on-going efforts of the J&K Police to counter terrorist activities and disrupt the terrorist network.
1. Subsequent to successful operation in Gandoh resulting in the killing of three foreign terrorist and on the basis of intelligence leads provided by centre agencies followed by investigation by Police, a module, apparently the main one, behind the recent infiltration that has resulted in increased terrorist activities and terrorist movements in upper reaches of Doda, Udhampur and Kathua has come to be exposed.
2. The Kingpins of the module in active collusion with terrorist handlers across the border, played crucial role in receiving the foreign terrorists after their illegal and surreptitious entry into India in the Samba- Kathua sector. The module besides providing initial shelter, food and other minor logistics was also responsible for guiding them to the upper reaches of the mountains and jungles of Udhampur-Kathua-Doda districts around Kilash mountain which is at the center of tri-junction of these three districts
3. The members of module have confirmed that the three terrorists killed at Gandoh encounter had taken the help of the module in hiding and travelling without being detected till they reached the upper reaches.
4. While the kingpin has been identified to be Mohd Lateef @Haji Lateef, 08 other members of the module have been taken into custody as enemy agents.
I. Mohd Lateef @ Haji Lateef S/o Late Meer R/o Ambe Naal , Tehsil and District Kathua. He is the kingpin in the whole network of OGWs in the area. He acted as guide /logistics etc. for the groups of terrorists passing through the area. He engaged and directed others in their role as guide /food provider in the area.
II. Akhter Ali s/o Late Rashid R/O Ambe Nall , Tehsil and district Kathua .
III. Saddam S/o Late Baza r/o Bhadu Billawar, District Kathua.
IV. Kushal S/o Late Baza r/o Bhadu Billawar, District Kathua.
V. Noorani S/o Late Meer R/O Juthana P/S Rajbagh, district Kathua.
VI. Maqbool S/o Mohd Lateef R/o Soffian , district Kathua.
VII. Liaquat S/o Haji Lateef.
VIII. Kasim Din S/O Shahin Din
IX. Khadim @ Qazi S/o Baza r/o Kattal, Bhadu,Billawar.
5. While more than 50 persons living in temporary Dhokes (Summer Kutcha huts) in the upper reaches and mountains for purposes of grazing of livestock have been investigated for coming in contact with the foreign terrorists for either providing food, shelter or communication help, only a few did not report to the Police and some have accepted money from the terrorists. Those who have reported Police in time are being treated as innocent. The liability of others, however, is being examined including prayer connection with terrorists and their handlers across. Members of general public therefore are requested to inform the Police about any contact with terrorists as soon as possible after the terrorists have left. Failure to report besides being a criminal offence is likely to adversely affect the persons access to government benefits.
