Jammu & Kashmir Police on Saturday said that the terrorist neutralised during Operation Ashdar has been identified as Yasir, a Pakistani national affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). In a post on X, J&K Police said, “You can run but you can’t hide! The terrorist neutralised during Op Ashdar has been identified as Yasir, a Pakistani national of Lashkar-e-Taiba.”
