ISI seeks details of terrorists on its roll in J&K
Pakistani terrorist Naveed Jatt — wanted in the Kashmiri journalist Shujaat Bukhari murder case — is on the run in the Valley and is facing hostilities from the locals.
Naveed, a Lashkar-e-Tayyeba terrorist, is moving along with Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Zeenat-ul-Islam and an unidentified mercenary, said Intelligence agencies.
“Naveed is living in fear from villagers of Heff, Shirmal, Shopian owing to his involvement in recent civilian killings,” says a report of the Multi-Agency Centre.
Intelligence reports suggest his last location was in Heff under Zainapura police station in Shopian.
Amid the killing of civilians and Kashmiri policemen, there is widespread anger among locals, especially against the foreign terrorists, and Naveed has not got refuge.
The report further said there are inputs that Pakistani covert agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has issued written instructions to all Kashmir-centric terrorist outfits in Pak/POK to furnish on priority the complete details of terrorist cadres of Jammu & Kashmir who are on the rolls of ISI and are getting monthly remuneration, for the purpose of a “ground check”.
The agencies are working on the sensational input and seeking to get the ISI payroll for the Valley.
Agencies have also pointed out that terrorist Farooq Ahmed Bajran, a local terrorist of Hizbul Mujahideen who was undergoing further training in Pakistan, has returned to the Valley.
Naveed had fled from police custody on February 6 while undergoing medical check-up at the SHMS hospital in Srinagar and his cohorts killed two policemen guarding him. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) that probed his escape from police custody had in August filed a chargsheet against him at a designated court in Jammu. Six persons, including Naveed, have been chargesheeted in the case.
The Jammu and Kashmir police has identified three people for the sensational murder of Bukhari.
Bukhari, 50, was Editor-in-Chief of Rising Kashmir and was killed by three gunmen in a daring attack on his car on June 14 this year. Two of his security guards were also killed.
