Srinagar: Jamu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) have filed a fee form in Jamu court against alleged “terrorist colleagues” and his Pakistan Handler, accused of alleged grenade attacks at places of worship in Surankote area of the border in Poonch, the territory of the Union territory.
A Hindu temple suffered damage in the incident on November 15, 2023. The defendant was identified as a resident of Surankote Hari Safeda village Abdul Aziz and his relative Nazir Ahmed alias Naziroo Alias Ali Khan, who are currently operating from Pakistan.
SIA sources said Aziz told his inquirer that he had carried out a grenade attack on the temple under instructions received by Ahmed, who joined the proscripted overscript of tocscript of the Jammukashmir Gaznavi (JKASHMIR GAZNAVI) in Pakistan in 2001.
They said that by the end of 2022, Ahmed reestablished his connection with Aziz by using a digitally encrypted messaging application based on Pakistan. They added: “During this time, he radicalized and recruited Aziz, then JKGF, and directed him to carry out grenade attacks in the Poonch area to further the agenda and ideology of the terrorist costumes.”
On October 19 last year, Anand Jain of the then Director General of the Jamu Police (ADGP) claimed that several grenade attacks had been resolved in Poonch and arrested two terrorists (JKGF) (including Aziz). He had been arrested at a press conference in Jamu by J&K’s joint team, the Army’s 37 Rashtriya rifles and the 38th Battalion (CRPF) of the Central Reserve Police Department (CRPF), which also recovered two grenades from his property.
He claimed that during the investigation another grenade was recovered from his house and his accomplice Munawar Hussain was also arrested along with the pistol, a magazine and nine bullets
Jain called their arrests a “very significant achievement” as a security agency, saying they were part of a larger plot and tried to harm siblings by carrying out grenade attacks everywhere, including temples, Gurdwara, army camps and hospitals. ”
When Aziz was accused of throwing grenades on Shiv Temple in Surankote on November 15; Gurdwara Mahant Sahib was held in Poonch on March 26; Army Sentinel Post in Kamsar, Poonch in June; Hussein was on the ground of a school near the CRPF Sentinel Post on August 14 (2023), and Hussein allegedly popped a grenade near the residential area of the regional hospital on July 18 of that year.
They are also accused of pasting anti-international posters at different locations in Surankote, including government high schools in Hari, Dhundak, Sanai and Eidgah-Hari. According to police, the posters were printed on Hussein’s house and pasted “Creating fear among the public” on the instructions of its handlers in August 2023.
Police claimed to have arrested another member of the module, identified as Muhammad Shabir, a resident of the village of Ponstraliara, and arrested a large amount of explosives on September 12, 2023, saying it was Aziz who gave him the explosives.
SIA sources said Ahmed not only instilled and recruited Aziz, but also provided him with grenades and gave him detailed instructions to carry out the attack on the temple through encrypted channels of communication. Sources also said the investigation in the case revealed a wider conspiracy of Pakistan-sponsored HM, which undermines public peace and undermines J&K’s stability by spreading terror, inciting community violence and creating fear among ordinary people.
