Posters of Wanted Terrorists Released Following Murders of Special Police Officers in Kishtwar

Kishtwar, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : The police in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, have issued posters of wanted terrorists following the recent murders of two Special Police Officers (SPOs). This announcement was made on Friday after the bodies of the officers, Babi Chand and Rashpal Kumar, were discovered with gunshot wounds. They had been missing since Wednesday.

Authorities have identified the suspects as Mohammad Amin, also known as Jahangir, Riyaz Ahmed, known as Hazari, and Muddasir Hussain. The police have announced a reward of ₹30 lakhs for any information leading to their capture.

In light of the recent violence, the Kishtwar police urged the public to come forward with any details regarding the terrorists’ whereabouts. Residents can contact the police at phone numbers 9797900958 and 1995357494. The police assured that the identity of informants would be kept confidential.

This incident follows another terrorist attack in the Kulgam district, which occurred just 24 hours earlier, injuring three CRPF personnel. One of the injured was airlifted to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar for urgent medical care.

In response to the attacks, security forces have launched a large-scale search operation to locate the terrorists involved in the Kulgam incident. Special checkpoints and barricades have been set up in Kulgam and surrounding areas. Officials stated that both human and technical intelligence are being utilized to apprehend the suspects.

The recent attacks have sparked criticism of government claims that terrorism has been eradicated from the Union Territory. Former Chief Minister and president of the National Conference, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, expressed concerns, stating that no one can predict where the next attack will occur. He highlighted that claims of an end to terrorism following the abrogation of Article 370 are proving to be unfounded.
