J&K: Raids on terrorists’ homes in Kishtwar

JAMMU: J&K police carried out Saturday multiple searches at the homes of Pakistan-based terrorists and alleged associates in Jammu’s Kishtwar, a day after similar raids in neighbouring Doda.Saturday’s searches covered 26 houses, including that of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Mohammad Amin Bhat alias “Jehangir Saroori”, with officials describing the action as part of a larger clampdown on the terror ecosystem in Kishtwar.The terrorists whose homes were targeted have been operating from Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and smuggle arms and ammunition from across the border, the officials said.As part of the clampdown on Friday, raids had rolled in Doda district’s Chenab region, directed at the houses of Pakistan-based terrorists across 15 locations.“The searches in Bhaderwah, Gandoh, Thathri and Kastigarh areas of Doda were aimed at intensifying the crackdown following terror activities in the district from across the border. Many based in Pakistan are helping foreign terrorists by providing them logistics and other support through their contacts here,” an official said.Separately, police have initiated the process of attaching properties of 36 terrorists, who hail from Kishtwar and are based in Pakistan or PoK. They were declared “proclaimed offenders” in Jan last year, the officials said.
