Tragedy averted after recovery of 6.5 Kg IED in Jammu: IGP Jmu

Achieved major success in past few days; arrested heads of TRF, Lashkar-e-Mustafa: DGP

Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir police on Sunday claimed to have arrested two chief commanders of two separate militant outfits including The Resistance Front (TRF) and Lashkar-e-Mustafa in the past few days across the UT and also averted major tragedy by recovering an Improvised Explosive Device weighing 6.5-kg from near General Bus Stand here.

IGP Jammu range Mukesh Singh addressing a press conference here told reporters said that they have been on high alert for the last three days as there were inputs that on the anniversary of Pulwama attack militants groups may carry out some major attack in Jammu Bus stand.

He said that based on these inputs checking points were established at critical points and last night a person namely Suhail was found roaming suspiciously in the area.

“He was carrying a bag. One being questioned and checking of the bag around 6.5 KG IED was recovered which was not active. During questioning he said that he was a student if nursing college and was studying in Chandigarh. He was tasked by Al-Badr handlers in Pakistan to place this IED one of three places including Raghunath Mandir, Railway station and Jammu bus stand,” he said.

He said that on further questioning Sahil revealed that after placing the IED he was supposed to take a flight to Srinagar and he was to be received by a high ranking OGW of Al-Badr, Shakeel Khan at Srinagar.

“After meeting Shakeel Khan he was supposed to become an active militant. This was his planning,” he said.

The IGP said another person in Chandigarh was also in the know-how of this planning. He has also been picked up from Chandigarh and has been identified as Qazi Waseem and there is another person Abid Nabi associated with this outfit.

“He has also been arrested,” he said.

The IGP that by his arrest and by recovery of the IED a major tragedy has been averted in Jammu.

The  Director General of Police Dilbag Singh said that police carried out two major successful operations and arrested two chief commanders of TRF and Lashkar-e Mustafa.

He said that to give a local name to a militant outfit, Lashkar-e-Toiba created an outfit by the The Resistance Front while Jaish-e-Mohammad created Lashkar-e-Mustafa to carry out militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir.

Singh said that the major operations were carried out by the Anantnag police and Jammu police and busted the militant outfits by arresting their chief commanders.

He said that to sponsor militant activities in Jammu and Kashmir from across the border, the militant outfits operating in Pakistan have been trying to give new faces to militant outfits in J&K and from the last several months two new groups were floated by the name TRF and Lashkar-e-Mustafa.

He said that TRF is being run by Lashkar-e-Toiba while the militant outfit Lashkar-e-Mustafa is being run by Jaish-e-Mohammad from across to border to carry out militant activities not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in some other parts of the country including Delhi.

“Lashkar-e-Mustafa came into being recently in August last year,” he added.

He said that the chief commander of Lashkar-e-Mustafa, Hidayatullah Malik who was leading this outfit and was active from the last few months, was arrested by the police. He said that Hidayatullah was working as OGW for a long time and later became active to carry out militant activities sponsored by Jaish-e-Mohammad.

The J&K Police Chief said this was a major success for the security forces and there had been major revelations by the Hidayatullah during interrogation.

He further said that in another major success one more chief commander of another militant out TRF being run by Lashkar-e-Toiba, Zahoor Rather alias Sahil and Khalid was also arrested. Singh said that Zahoor was arrested during an operation on the intervening night of 12 and 13 February.

“Zahoor was active for a long time and was a trained militant. He was leading TRF. He was also working as an OGW. In 2002 he was working with Hizbul Mujahideen,” he said.

Singh said that Zahoor remained active for 5 years and later surrendered in 2006 and he again became active in 2009 and in 2009 his handlers sitting in Pakistan knew his potential.

He said that Zahoor was handed over the responsibility of running TRF in Jammu and Kashmir and he was involved in killing 3 BJP leaders in Kulgam last year.

He said that intensive questioning of Zahoor Ahmad is going on and it is expected that some more breakthroughs will take place trough Zahoor.

Singh while complementing the Jammu and Samba police said that a major tragedy was also averted today by arresting an associate of Al-Badr militant outfit and recovered IED from his possession.

“I congratulate the police officials who led this operation and arrested the Al-Badr associate to avert major tragedy in Jammu region,” he said.
