Recruitment Module Of Lashkar-E-Taiba Offshoot Dismantled In Kashmir

The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK), Jammu and Kashmir’s CID department, has successfully dismantled a recruitment module linked to a splinter group of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). This operation took place during raids across various districts in the Valley.

Officials reported that CIK operatives conducted raids in several areas, including Srinagar, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kulgam, Budgam, Anantnag, and Pulwama. During these operations, they uncovered a recruitment network for the newly formed militant group “Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim” (TLM). This group is believed to be operated by a Pakistani militant handler known as Baba Hamas.

Intelligence agencies in Jammu and Kashmir suggest that, following peaceful Lok Sabha and Legislative Assembly elections, terrorist groups have become frustrated. In response, they are revising their strategies to lure local youth into joining their ranks in an effort to revive violence. A senior intelligence officer stated, “Such allurement is done by trying to stoke religious, ethnic or other sentiments to disturb the prevailing peace.”

The recent resurgence of violence was highlighted by an attack on civilian workers in Gagangir, Ganderbal district. On Sunday, terrorists targeted unarmed workers of a private company. The has resulted in the deaths of seven people, including six non-local workers and a local doctor. Five others sustained injuries in the assault.

The Pakistan-based terror outfit “The Resistance Front” (TRF) later claimed responsibility for this attack. The assault on civilian workers has drawn widespread condemnation. The workers were engaged in vital infrastructure projects, which could benefit the local economy and employment.

In response to the incident, the J&K Lt. Governor has sanctioned ex gratia relief for the victims. Additionally, the private company involved, APCO, has also announced financial support for the next of kin of those affected.
