Encounter begins in J&K’s Doda district as security forces trap group of terrorists

The Indian Army has been carrying out a combing operation in the Thanamandi area of Rajouri sector, Jammu and Kashmir, for the past one week after witnessing a spike in terror activities.

It started after two army vehicles were ambushed by terrorists on December 21, resulting in the deaths of four soldiers and injuries to two others. The forces had inputs that two or three terrorists from across the border had been moving around the forest area.

These terrorists are believed to be infiltrating from Pakistan, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, and are armed with the latest Chinese-made weaponry and communication devices, say security forces.

From rifles, pistols, grenades, drones, and bodysuit cameras to communication devices, the army has found these Chinese-made gadgets from the encounter sites.

The Indian security forces have revealed repeatedly that foreign terrorists have been active in Jammu and Kashmir and are armed with weapons that are usually used by the Pakistan Army.

All the communication devices and arms that are supplied to the Pakistan Army from China on a regular basis end up with these terrorists mostly affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Sources in the security establishment told WION that Pakistan has been actively working on reviving terrorism in Rajouri and Poonch areas, which border Pakistan.

Sources say that about 25 to 30 Pakistani terrorists have managed to successfully infiltrate into the Union Territory through the International Border, close to Poonch and Rajouri sectors.

Most of these terrorists are affiliated with terror organisations like Jaish and Lashkar, they say.

Sources also say that the revival of terrorism in these areas is part of a bigger plan by Pakistan and China. Its main motive is to put pressure on the Indian Army so that they withdraw troops deployed at the Indo-China border and re-deploy them in areas like Rajouri and Poonch.

Terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir using Chinese-made weapons to attack Indian Army: Sources

Jammu and Kashmir Police has decided to seize the properties of those people who are involved in providing shelter to the terrorists. The police will attach immovable properties used for terror activities under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). &nbsp;

The attachments being done are for properties where it has been proved beyond doubt that the house owner or member had wilfully provided shelter/ harboured terrorists, in most cases for days together and that it was not done under any duress whatsoever.&nbsp;

''We will seize all the properties of the people, wherever there is an encounter, or is being used as a hideout or are harbouring the terrorists, their property will be seized, '' said Vijay Kumar, IG Kashmir Police.&nbsp;

Legal action will be supplemented by property attachments as per sections 2(g) &amp; 25 of the ULP Act. The police has said that decision regarding enforcement of these sections of law is due to the fact that many supporters of terrorism are wilfully providing safe havens to terrorists who conduct attacks on civilians and security forces in Srinagar City.

In a recent encounter that took place in Srinagar's Bishember Nagar, JK Police said that they will seize the property of the owner in whose house the terrorists were hiding.&nbsp;

''Yes, we will seize the property in today's encounter,'' said Vijay Kumar, IG Kashmir Police.&nbsp;

The Jammu and Kashmir Police has also said that if there is a 'forceful entry' of terrorists into any house or other structure, the house owner or any other member claiming duress should timely inform the authorities about the same, as many provisions for hiding identity of such informant are available under law.&nbsp;

However, the politicians in the valley have criticised the step taken by the JK Police. Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehbooba Mufti has called the step completely wrong.&nbsp;

''It's completely wrong. This is like punishing the whole community . If you have to fight the militants, fight them but what's with punishing the locals for it. '' said Mehbooba Mufti, Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp;

The Jammu and Kashmir Police has said that there will be zero tolerance towards terror.&nbsp;
