The increasing faith of Kashmiri youth in the army is not being liked by terrorist organizations. SSP Baramulla has made a big disclosure related to both the terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammed, who were killed by the security forces in the Baramulla encounter. In fact, both these terrorists were entrusted with the task of targeting the army recruitment going on in the Haiderbal area of Pattan. The police got information about this in time and along with the army and CRPF personnel, the security forces killed both these terrorists after this encounter that lasted for about seven hours.
Confirming this, SSP Baramulla Rais Mohammad Bhat IPS said that the slain terrorists had come to disrupt an ongoing army rally in North Kashmir’s Baramulla district. Both these terrorists had planned that they would go to the Haiderbeg area of Pattan and during the ongoing Agniveer rally there, they would target the youth who had arrived from different areas of the Kashmir Valley. A huge conspiracy has been foiled by the killing of these terrorists.
The SSP said that he got information about the hiding in Yedipora village of these terrorists who were planning to target the Agniveer rally. Sources said that these terrorists are planning to attack Kashmiri youths who came to the rally in the morning. As soon as the information was received, the police, taking quick action, along with the Army and CRPF, surrounded Yedipora village and launched a search operation. These terrorists were hiding in a house. Seeing the security forces approaching them, both the terrorists started firing.
Police officer told that both these terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammed were local. Both were also given a chance to surrender but in defeat they responded by firing. Therefore, after an encounter that lasted for about seven hours, both the terrorists were killed one after the other. The identity of both the terrorists is yet to be ascertained. AKS74U rifle, three magazines, a pistol and its magazine have been recovered from their possession.
SSP Baramulla said that after the situation improved, the love of the army has increased among the youth here. Kashmiri youth, who earlier opposed the security forces, now join the army and have a sense of service to the country. This is the reason why terrorist organizations, desperate to see this change in the youth of Kashmir, planned to attack the Army Recruitment Rally (Agniveer) in Baramulla. In time we came to know about this plan and we killed both the terrorists.
