A Pakistani terrorist, captured alive by the jawans of the Indian Army along the Line of Control in the Jhangar sector of Nowshera in Rajouri district on August 21, has claimed a sinister plot to target forward Indian posts in the forward areas was hatched by a Colonel of the Pakistani Intelligence agency to disturb peace.
At present the terrorist, identified as Tabarak Hussain, resident of Sabzkot village, district Kotli of Pakistan occupied Kashmir is undergoing treatment in an army hospital in Rajouri. Hussain was captured alive by the troops while he along with the two terrorists were attempting to infiltrate inside the Indian territory. The two terrorists who were hiding behind, fled the area by taking cover of dense jungle and broken ground. According to a Jammu based Defence Spokesman, Lt Col Devendra Anand, "the terrorist has confessed about their plan to attack the Indian Army post. The Defence Spokesman said, "Tabarak Hussain has said he was sent by Col Yunus Chaudhry, a Colonel of Pakistan Intelligence Agency, to target the Indian army posts. "I was paid 30,000 Pakistani Rupees by the Pakistani officer", Tabarak Confessed
"Tabarak also revealed that he along with other terrorists had carried two/ three close recces of Indian forward posts with an aim to target them at an opportune time. The go ahead to target the Indian post was given by Col Yunus Chaudhry on 21 Aug 2022". Tabarak Hussain was earlier captured by the Indian Army from the same sector in 2016 along with his brother Haroon Ali, and was repatriated on humanitarian grounds in November 2017.

The other terrorist is possibly injured and is hiding in the area or has gone back taking advantage of the inclement weather and dense foliage, added Brigadier Rana.
