    Rajouri Killings: J&K Police Says Militants Hiding In Upper Reaches

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Militants involved in the back-to-back attack in Upper Dangri village in Rajouri district on January 1 and 2 this year, killing seven people and leaving 14 others injured, are still hiding in the upper reaches of the border district, and are getting logistical support from some people, newspaper The Indian Express quoted the Jammu and Kashmir Police as having said.

    In an audio clip circulated late Tuesday, police also warned of stern action against those facilitating the militants in any way.

    Confirming the audio message, a senior police officer said their cordon and search operations are in progress.

    Referring to the attack, police said in the audio, “Yeh hamla karney waley abhi bhi Rajouri ke pahaari ilakey mein chhupey huey hein, aur kisi bhi waqt koi bhi ghinoni wardaat ko anjaam de saktey hain (the killers are still hiding in the hilly areas of Rajouri and can carry out their nefarious activities any time).

    “Besides helping these militants move from one place to another, and providing them shelter, some people are (also) helping them by providing information about the movement and actions of police and paramilitary forces,” it said.

    Police also appealed for help from the local people in completely eliminating militancy.

    In the audio message, police reiterated the Rs 10-lakh award announced earlier for anyone providing information on the militants.

    The development comes two days after Saroj Bala, a widow who lost both her two sons in the New Year attack, threatened on Monday to start an indefinite hunger strike unless police managed to trace and nab the militants in 15 days. She had earlier threatened to go on an indefinite fast from Monday, but agreed to change her decision following a meeting convened by village sarpanch Dheeraj Sharma, The Indian Express reported.

Jabbar’s brother Mohammad Ibrar who was involved in terror activities is already in jail.

    The module was working on the directions of their handlers across LoC who are associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group. Many IEDs have been seized from their possession that were supposed to be used in other attacks,” said the DIG.

    Two IEDs were seized from different areas of Rajouri, including Dandote in Budhal on January 8 and Kheora within the town on January 18. The DIG informed that it was on the basis of information by locals that they were able to make the arrests. Electronic signatures were also used to authenticate the information.

    “The IED in town was placed near a shortcut to GMC Rajouri which is used by many people. The explosive had the sophisticated mechanism of pressure as well as timer. In case no one stepped on the IED, it would have gone off in a time set by the planter,” said the DIG.
