JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Police have revealed the identities of four Pakistani terrorists operating in Kishtwar district, releasing their photographs and offering a reward of ₹20 lakh for credible information leading to their capture.
The terrorists, identified by their code names Saifullah, Farman, Adil, and Basha, are believed to have participated in recent attacks on security personnel and Village Defence Guards (VDGs) in Kishtwar. Their images were disseminated through posters in Urdu and English by Kishtwar Police, with each carrying a reward of ₹5 lakh for actionable intelligence.
“These are not their real names, but they are the aliases under which they operate,” officials confirmed. Police have urged the public to come forward with any information regarding the terrorists, assuring strict confidentiality for informants.
The Jammu region, including Kishtwar and Doda, has witnessed sporadic terrorist activity in recent months as Pakistan-backed operatives attempt to disrupt the region’s peace. Intelligence inputs suggest that several foreign terrorists, predominantly Pakistanis, are active in these districts and have carried out acts of violence.
Security forces have been conducting extensive search operations in Kishtwar and surrounding areas to track and eliminate the threats. Some terrorists have already been neutralized in recent encounters, officials reported.
A senior police officer told The New Indian that “ Efforts are ongoing to ensure the safety and stability of the region, with police and security forces committed to dismantling terror networks and preventing further infiltration.”
