Jammu and Kashmir Police arrest three Hizbul Mujahideen militants in Kishtwar; includes those involved in killings of BJP, RSS leaders

Jammu: Four terror cases, including the killings of a BJP leader and an RSS functionary in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, were solved with the arrest of three militants affiliated to the Hizbul Mujahideen, police said on Monday.

PTI[/caption] Nissar Ahmad Sheikh, one of the conspirators, along with Nishad Ahmad and Azad Hussain, all residents of Kishtwar, were arrested for their involvement in the four cases which took place between November last year and September this year, Inspector General of Police, Jammu zone, Mukesh Singh said. Efforts are on to arrest other active militants of the outfit, who hatched the conspiracy in 2017-18 to revive militancy in the Chenab valley, the IGP, who was flanked by Commander Nine Sector Army Brigadier Vikram Bhan and other senior officers, told reporters in Jammu. He said two hideouts set up in the house of Sheikh and Hussain, which were used before and after each of the terror act, were raided during the investigation, leading to the seizure of some pistols, a rifle and some kinds of ammunition. The IGP said, “I would like to send a message that anyone harbouring, sympathizing, transporting or helping terrorists in any form will be dealt with very strictly under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.” The hilly district, which was declared terrorism-free over a decade ago, has witnessed a number of terror strikes and weapon snatching incidents over the past 10 months. Terrorists shot dead BJP leader Anil Parihar and his brother Ajit Parihar in Kishtwar town on 1 November, 2018. In another strike, the terrorists snatched the service rifle of the deputy commissioner’s Personal Security Officer (PSO) Daleep Kumar on 8 March. They struck again at the district hospital on 9 April, killing RSS functionary Chanderkant Sharma and his PSO before fleeing the scene with the service rifle of the security personnel. Most recently, on 13 September, terrorists struck the house of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) district president Sheikh Nasir Hussain at Gourian village in the town and escaped with his PSO’s service rifle.
