Major tragedy averted ahead of I-day: Pakistani terrorist planning attack on J&K highway killed
|
[OneIndia] A major tragedy was averted ahead of Indepence Day after security forces bumped off a Pak terrorist planning an attack along the national highway in Jammu and Kashmir
 ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir . The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
on Friday.
They said the overnight encounter began after two terrorists, who had positioned themselves in a building, started firing "indiscriminately" on a BSF convoy on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
Kashmir Inspector General of Police Vijay Kumar said the slain ultra, identified as Usman from Pakistain, was a "dreaded terrorist" active for the past six months.
"Around 3 pm (Thursday), Lions of Islam fired upon the convoy of BSF on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway near Malpora Mir Bazar area of Kulgam. The fire was retaliated by an ROP (road opening party) of police and security forces," a police front man said.
There were no injuries in the initial attack.
Police and Army reinforcements reached immediately and cordoned off the area, the spokesperson said.
"The force party ensured not to give any chance to the Lions of Islam to escape. The Lions of Islam managed to take shelter in a nearby building. The holed-up Lions of Islam fired indiscriminately upon the joint party of police/security forces which was retaliated, leading to an encounter," he said.
The IGP said there was a general input for the last one week that "Lions of Islam were planning an attack on the national highway on Baramulla-Srinagar road or Qazigund-Pantha Chowk".
"So, the police and security forces were ready. This shows how good the response of the security forces has been that there was retaliation and the bully boy was not allowed to flee," Kumar told news hounds here.
He said when the BSF convoy was coming, "two Lions of Islam fired indiscriminately from a huge building, but there was no injury to us".
"Security forces cordoned off the area and the encounter ensued. GoC (general officer commanding of the Army's south Kashmir-based) Victor Force and I monitored the operation during the night. We used a rocket launcher and a bully boy was neutralised during the night.
"Since it is difficult to search in the dark, in the morning, the body of a Pak terrorist identified as Usman, who had been active for the last six months, was recovered," he said.
A huge cache of arms and ammunition, which includes an AK-47 rifle, magazines, grenades, RPG-7 rocket launcher, was recovered from the encounter site, he said.
Kumar said it shows the "Lions of Islam were planning something big".
"It is after a long time that RPG-7 has been recovered (in Kashmir) and the police and security forces have averted a major incident. I am proud of the police and security forces," he said, adding, "We achieved a major success by killing Usman - the dreaded Pak terrorist."
The police front man quoted above said a CRPF jawan and an Army personnel and two civilians got injured in the "indiscriminate firing by the terrorists".
All the injured had been taken to hospital, he said.
