Manhunt Intensifies for Lashkar-Linked Terrorist After Kashmir CRPF Attack
Mohammad Lateef Bhat, suspected of orchestrating a recent assault on CRPF personnel in Kulgam, is a focus of an intensified search by security agencies in the region.
Security forces in Kashmir have intensified their manhunt for Mohammad Lateef Bhat, a local terrorist suspected of playing a key role in a recent assault on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in the Kulgam area. Bhat is reportedly affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF), an organisation identified as a proxy of the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Mohammad Lateef Bhat, also known as Lateef Bhat, has a notorious reputation among security officials for his involvement in orchestrating Over Ground Worker (OGW) networks, which provide logistical support to militant groups. His name has been linked to several terror incidents across the region, raising alarm among authorities.
This is not the first instance where Bhat has come to the attention of security forces. He previously managed to evade capture during a confrontation with security personnel in Shopian. During that encounter, Bhat was reportedly trapped alongside Lashkar commander Zakir Ganai before making his escape.
As the search for Bhat and other potential fugitives intensifies across the Kulgam area, local authorities are appealing to citizens for assistance. The public has been urged to provide any information that could aid in tracking down the suspected terrorist and bringing him to justice.
