Days after the arrest of Lashkar-e-Toiba’s top commander in north Kashmir, the police today said it had solved multiple attacks, including the killing of a sarpanch and a former counter-insurgent.
Follow up:
The arrest of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander Qari Naveed, alias Fahadullah, a Pakistani national, last week and subsequent arrests of his accomplices has helped the police to create a map of over a dozen attacks carried out in north Kashmir in recent months.
A senior police officer said the arrests had helped solve a dozen grenade attacks and the killing of a youth inside a mosque in March and provided “crucial clues” regarding the killing of sarpanch Ghulam Mohammad Yatoo of Palhalan and former counter-insurgent Bashir Ahmad Ganaie of Kunzer in Tangmarg. All these attacks took place in various parts of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
“With the arrest of the LeT commander in Sopore and subsequent arrests, we have been able to solve the murder case of Suhail Ahmad Sofi, besides getting some crucial clues about the killings of Yatoo and Ganaie,” the officer said.
While Suhail Ahmad Sofi was killed inside a mosque on March 19 in the Doabgah area of Sopore town, Yatoo was killed at Palhalan village in September last year and Ganaie was killed on March 8 this year near his house.
The officer said Feroz Ahmad Dar, a resident of Alsafa Colony of Sopore town, has been arrested in Sofi’s killing case. “On eyewitness account, his own confession and recovery of the weapon of offence and the matching empty cartridges recovered from the crime scene, a case of murder was prima facie established against accused Feroz Ahmad Dar and co-accused Fahadullah who provided him a pistol to kill Suhail Ahmad Sofi,” he said.
The official said Dar chased Sofi and shot him dead inside a mosque as the militant outfit had suspected Sofi of being “an informer of security forces”.
LeT militant Shabir Ahmad Sheikh, who was killed last week in an encounter at Amargad, Sopore, was “behind the killing” of Yatoo, a sarpanch from Amargad, the officer said. Others, who took part in the killing, have also been arrested. The officer said Sheikh was also involved in the killing of former counter-insurgent Bashir Ahmad Ganaie at Kunzer.
The police has arrested several conduits of the militant outfit and solved a dozen cases of grenade attacks in and around Sopore town, the officer said.
