Jammu and Kashmir

As per sources in intelligence agencies, Pakistan's ISI is directly managing the launchpads of terrorists and they have also helped terror groups to set up camps along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Not only this, terrorists are also being given training for infiltration and attacks. Indian intelligence agencies have come to know that terrorist organizations have set up their camps a few kms from the LoC.

"Killed JeM terrorists were categorised and identified as Mohd. Rafi of Sopore and Kaiser Ashraf of Pulwama. Terrorist Rafi was earlier booked under Public Safety Act twice. Both were involved in several terror cases. As per input, they were planning to attack civilians in Sopore area," Jammu and Kashmir Police quoting Additional Director General of Police (Kashmir zone), Vijay Kumar, tweeted.

The infiltration attempt was made Monday evening. Defence ministry spokesman, Lt. Colonel Devender Anand said, "The reconnaissance of the general area of attempted infiltration site is in progress. "In reconnaissance by Quadcopter, two bodies of infiltrators have been observed. Area is being scanned further."

Recently, the police said a TRF terrorist, Aadil Ahmad Wani had carried out the brutal assassination of a local Kashmiri Pandit, Sunil Kumar in his ancestral village, Chotigam of Shopian district. Police said it has irrefutable proof that Aadil Ahmad Wani had killed Sunil Kumar and yet in his attempt to claim innocence, Aadil had stated a half truth.

"A police constable and a Pakistani (terrorist) Mohammad Ali Hussain alias Qasim/Jehangir, Commander of LeT, operating from jail, were injured during a weapon recovery operation by the police in Arnia sector near the International Border at Toph village. Both were shifted to the hospital for treatment where the injured terrorist succumbed," police said on its twitter page. Pakistani prisoner Muhammad Ali Hussain had been instrumental in drone weapon dropping as he is a commander of LeT.

Police sources said the militants fired at Sunil Kumar, son of Arjun Nath, and his brother Pitambar alias Pinto in the Chotigam village of Shopian district. "Sunil Kumar died on the spot while his brother Pitambar alias Pinto was shifted to hospital. "The area has been cordoned off and reinforcements have been rushed to the village to nab the assassins," sources said. Reports said that both the brothers were non-migrants and were living in their ancestral village when the killers struck.

With the death of the injured soldier, the toll in Thursday's foiled 'Fidayeen' (Suicide) attack in Rajouri district has reached six. Two terrorists and 3 army soldiers were killed earlier when a suicide attack by the heavily armed terrorists was foiled in Rajouri district. A Defence statement said on Tuesday evening: "Rifleman Nishant Malik who was injured while bravely fighting and eliminating 2 terrorists in Pargal, Rajouri has succumbed to injuries. Indian Army condoles the loss of braveheart and stands in solidarity with his family," it added.

"Two terrorists trying to sneak into a post in the dark at Pargal Rajouri were detected and engaged by alert troops. The terrorists have been neutralised. Five soldiers also suffered injuries and are being treated," the Army said in a tweet. Sources said the gunfight broke out after the two heavily armed terrorists tried to barge into the army camp. In the exchange of fire, the ywo terrorists were killed.

This issue was partially settled in October 2002 by a full bench of Jammu and Kashmir High Court in the case titled State versus Dr Susheela Sawhney and others by striking down the proviso of the state subject (permanent residency) law according to which women marrying outsiders would lose their permanent resident status. It took forty eight years for the J&K women to get back their right of inheritance, but they could not transfer property to their children or husband as her heirs were treated as outsiders.

Acting on specific information generated by police regarding presence of a terrorist in village Wanigam Bala in Kreeri area of Baramulla, a joint cordon and search operation was launched by police, army and the SSB. As the joint search party approached towards the spot where the terrorist was hiding, he began firing indiscriminately which was retaliated. "In the initial exchange of fire, two soldiers and a police personnel received injuries and were shifted to hospital for treatment where their condition is stable," police said.
